This reply to Osgood's (2024) comments will show that locating the Tower of Babel in the north of Mesopotamia is supported by the intensive use of geology, linguistics, history, and geography; and Babel cannot have been Babylon in South Mesopotamia, which was under water when the Tower was being built. The traditional belief that Babel and Babylon were the same place, located in south Mesopotamia, does not stand up under critical scholarship. Merely because many people have believed something for a long time does not make that belief truth.
