Like Homer, he is said to be buried in many other places, but this is the only true and genuine place his ashes inhabit.
When the original tribes were dispersed, more than four thousand years ago, Nimrod and a large party traveled three or four hundred miles, and settled where the great city of Babylon afterwards stood.

Nimrod built that city.

He also began to build the famous Tower of Babel, but circumstances over which he had no control put it out of his power to finish it.

He ran it up eight stories high, however, and two of them still stand, at this day--a colossal mass of brickwork, rent down the centre by earthquakes, and seared and vitrified by the lightnings of an angry God.

But the vast ruin will still stand for ages, to shame the puny labors of these modern generations of men.
