     * Babel.  that is, Confusion.
       The tower of Babel, Herodotus informs us, was a furlong or 660
       feet, in length and breadth; and, according to Strabo, it rose
       to the same altitude.  It was of a pyramidical form,
       consisting of eight square towers, gradually decreasing in
       breadth, with a winding ascent on the outside, so very broad
       as to allow horses and carriages to pass each other, and even
       to turn.  This magnificent structure is so completely
       destroyed that its very site is doubtful; and when supposed to
       be discovered, in all cases exhibiting a heap of rubbish.
