    I think the tower was not round-shaped but pyramid shaped. My theory is that it was a huge pyramid. Pyramid-shaped structures were built by almost every ancient culture. Pyramids are found worldwide in many shapes and sizes. The writers may have called it a 'tower' because a pyramid is usually just a stairway high place with a temple built atop of it. Huge round-shaped buildings weren't built at around the time of Genesis (2500 - 3500 BC).
