Pieter in the village Brueghel began to depict such a huge construction. I'd like to know why he motivated to do so. Religious reason or by means of his personal interest about the language of Genesis?
Breughel was a tiny village in middel of 16 century. Nowadays it belongs to a gemeente (municipality), Son en Breugel in the southern Netherlands near by Eindhoven.
