Tower of Babel

[Jeff Yu]

I was looking at www.civ3.com's civ profiles, and I went to Babylon's page. There was a great wonder picture of the Tower of Babel. There was a game picture of it. Anyone know what happened to it and what it would have done had it been in the game?

It just looks like a picture of it to refer to the end of the paragraph and I quote "He also rebuilt the Temple of Marduk and its ziggurat, which are now referred to collectively as the Tower of Babel." It doesn't look like Firaxis ingame graphics anyway.

But if it were to be included, it probably would be a happiness wonder of the religious trait.

It is thought that in 478BC Xeres (yeah him) invaded and took over the city. The tower (if it ever existed) was then said to be neglected and crumbled away

Nah, when Alexander the Great took Babylon he had it torn down to be rebuilt because it was in ruin, but he died, and his son and successor (who wasn't even born yet) had to focus efforts on rebellions instead of focusing on rebuilding it, and needless to say it was never rebuilt as planned.
