'Brick' is a generic term it simply describes a shape, and arguabliably the fact that they are man made. all other elements of 'bricks' are variables. because the bible did not give you the 'brick receipe nor how long they were baked or even how long they were allowed to dry, before being baked, one can not say for certain what they were able to build.
Remember even the Romans made Cement stronger and more versitiale and able to work under heavier loads and last longer than anything currently being used.http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-06-14/ancient-roman-concrete-is-about-to-revolutionize-modern-architecture
It's been 2000 years and we are just now beginning to understand what made Roman cement so strong. And that wasn't baked in ovens it air dryed... So again how could you possiably know what the men of babble were using as building materials?
Nope! Wrong, wrong, wrong. Roman concrete wasn't famous for it's strength, but rather it's durability to the elements. Strength wise, it's weaker than anything you can buy at Homedepot.
Here's a good link about the qualities of roman concrete vs modern concrete.

Really, your stance is silly, anyone with a toy microscope can see what makes up any particular concrete. An aggregate cannot exceed the compressive strength of its constituents and volcanic rock is exceedingly weak when compared to granites and the like. the pyramids are basically a heap of rocks and not a building per se. While one could build a huge pile of bricks, the math gets in the way really quickly. (1/2 base x H) each additional story comes at greater and greater costs of time and material. When you get to 30 to 50 stories high you have a mountain of man-made material that we would have to know about. But alas, there are no man-made mountains that could be your fable's Babel tower.
You are stretching and clawing like a madman to justify your irrational position.
