Original sentence: The Book of Jubilees mentions the tower's height as being 5433 cubits and 2 palms (8,150 feet, 2,484 meters high), or nearly 2.5 kilometers.The Third Apocalypse of Baruch mentions that the 'tower of strife' reached a height of 463 cubits (694 feet and 6 inches, 212 meters high), taller than any other structure built in the ancient world including the Pyramid of Cheops in Giza, Egypt, and taller than any structure built in human history until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.The narrative in the book of Genesis does not mention how tall the Biblical tower was, and it has traditionally not been much of a subject of debate.There are however at least two relevant extra-canonical sources
Edited sentence: A tower of such a height in the ancient world would have been so incredible as to warrant its reputation and mention in the Bible and later texts.Such a claim would be considered as false to most scholars since builders in such ancient times would be considered incapable of building a structure nearly 2.5 kilometers tall.The Book of Jubilees mentions the tower's height as being 5433 cubits and 2 palms (8,150 feet, 2,484 meters high).The biblical Tower of Babel however would have been built about 2000 years earlier.The narrative in the book of Genesis does not mention how tall the tower was, and thus it has traditionally not been much of a subject of debate.The other extra-canonical source is found in the Third Apocalypse of Baruch; it mentions that the 'tower of strife' reached a height of 463 cubits (694 feet and 6 inches, 212 meters high).There are however at least two extra-canonical sources that mention the tower's height.This would be approximately four times taller than the world's tallest structures of today and the tallest edifice in all of human history.This would be taller than any other structure built in the ancient world such as the Pyramid of Cheops in Giza, Egypt and taller than any structure built in human history until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889
