Was the Tower of Babel a real structure or was the story completely fictional?

Gen. 11:2-4   "Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.

They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

Note: Ron Wyatt starts talking about the Tower of Babel at the 51:40 mark

Ron Wyatt: 'So anyway the point is it says, 'As they journeyed east' from the Noah's Ark area they went west. That puts them somewhere other than down by Babylon, where everybody else says the Tower of Babel was and every brick that has ever been looked at down there has Nebuchadnezzar's seal on it and so anyway you are left with two things. Either Nebuchadnezzar copied Nimrod's seal which is not the case. ... They came along the river and passed out of the mountains into this plain and it then says, they built the Tower of Babel on the banks of the Euphrates. And so anyway, given that information we went over and got tickets to fly from Istanbul to the Abucur and God had arranged for that commercial airline to fly right past the Tower of Babel where I could get a perfect shot of it right out of my window and there it is the top left picture.'

'I went out there and saw the way the river went in an almost three quarters of a circle, and it was right in the middle of that. So, when I got back home somehow or the other we came up with this book that was a mineral radar scan from the shuttle of that part of Turkey, and there sits the Tower of Babel with the radar penetration right through to the ramps, counter-clockwise ramps and you can see them right there (Ron points to picture) and God did that.'

'So we did go out and scrape a little dirt off and look at those bricks  and they were thirty inches by thirty inches by five and a half inches and the mortar is a mixture of tar and clay. You remember it says, 'Slime had they for mortar and brick they had for stone.'
