It appears that if the bricks were made carefully, the Tower

There is a limit where the building is too heavy to support itself even if it is solid bricks so unless it is very cleverly designed to reduce weight it won't reach half of that.

How long to build is another matter but it is simply a logistics problem or technical problem. If you build it like a pyramid then imagine building a fuck ton of pyramids on top of each other, i.e. fucking ages. Of course it is 2017 we can have machinery to move things faster.

How hard to lay bricks, it won't matter because laying bricks at the top is the same deal as laying bricks when you are at the ground.

The question is, why bricks, why so tall, what is the actual design, how many are working, what machine are available, what the bricks are made of, where are they from, where is the tower, etc.

It'd take like, 45 megapascals of pressure resistance for the brick to be suitable for for a vertical tower of Babylon, a lot less for a sloped one.

Brick can have anywhere from 1.5 to 50, the higher end stuff is hard to make though.

Brick is the canonical material of the Tower of Babylon.

I don't know what is the canon, but if someone is clever about it, they would just build it on an existing rocky mountain, literally just cover the top and sides with buildings, then carve out the mountain methodologically to make usable spaces in it, then you can just call the whole thing a tower, when in fact it is just a mountain covered with a skin of bricks.

There aren't many mountains that aren't government-owned land though.

Irrelevant because OP isn't going to build anything and the question is just babble, not asked with serious intent to build anything based on apocryphal evidence.

The origina ToB used shipping containers delivered by aliens, not brick. That was carefully concealed because priests wanted sandnogs to believe in Sky Fairies instead of little Yoda-looking fuckers. The shipping containers remain under what looks like a mountain and have not been found. The mountain effect is accumulated feces from the imitation crab meat ritual feasts over millennia.

/b/ should make a religion because stupid people think every old assertion is true. In 2000 years even Scientology may be taken seriously.

>2,5 km tall building of brick

It would colapse under it's own weight waaaaay before that

My dude masonry can't be supported that high even with steel reinforcement.
