in hebrew and christian tradition, nimrod is considered the leader of those who built the tower of babel in the land of shinar, though the bible never actually states this. nimrod's kingdom included the cities of babel, erech, akkad, and perhaps calneh, in shinar (ge 10:10). flavius josephus believed that it was likely under his direction that the building of babel and its tower began; in addition to josephus, this is also the view found in the talmud ("chullin" 89a, "pesahim" 94b, "erubin" 53a, "avodah zarah" 53b), and later "midrash" such as "genesis rabba". several of these early judaic sources also assert that the king amraphel, who wars with abraham later in genesis, is none other than nimrod himself.
