According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, the Tower of Babel was so tall, it took a year to get materials to the top. Obviously they couldn't transport mortar, which would dry before it got there, but they could transport the materials, and mix them once they got there.

Food was another matter. It would be dry and moldy, and otherwise spoiled before it got there. The workmen must have had terrible conditions. Bathroom breaks would be another matter.

Possibly they would transport animals, water and feed to the top, then slaughter and cook them while they were there. If you're carrying food for a year somebody, you've got to eat, too. So you carry enough for yourself to eat for two years, including the return trip. How heavy would that be?

Of course, in the middle ages, they had problems building tall cathedral walls, which would bend and fall, until they developed the buttress, and then the flying buttress. And the Egyptians attempted to build a pyramid that collapsed, and they had to reduce the angle at the top in order to finish it.

But then, if a material could be transported 3600 stories in a day, (one story per minute) making 360,000 stories in 100 days, and a million stories in a year, the building would be so heavy it would crush the stones at the bottom.

Then the buttresses would have to be at least a mile wide, and would have to extend in all directions.

A million stories high would be 10 million feet, or 200 miles high. The air would be getting awfully thin up there, and the temperatures would be a problem.

Payday would be a bit of a problem, especially considering where one would spend his wages.

Then there's the idea that God would get worried that they would actually reach heaven...

Peter: Did you remember to bring lunch?

John: Oh, sure. We've got a basket of fish and bread around here somewhere. Enough for the dozen of us.

Peter: Well, 13, actually. If we've got say, three fish and a half loaf each, we ought to do O.K.

John: Well, it's getting close, and the master's getting hoarse. He needs a break for a while.

Peter: Did you notice? There are a thousand people here, and they knew they'd be here past noon, and not a one of them seems to have any lunch with him.

John: Well, maybe they weren't hungry when they headed out after breakfast.

Peter: That could be it. I hope they aren't expecting porta-potties. The guys can go behind the rocks over there, and the women can go over there. Just don't go near the place later on, right?

John: Looks like the master is winding up his talk. We've got lunch, but what are they going to do?

Peter: Well, let's ask the master. Maybe he can think of something. Do you think the next time we announce one of these things, we could put up signs reading, "Don't forget to bring your lunch?"

John: Wouldn't be a bad idea.
