Are you suggesting that the Tower of Babel was the same as the ziggurats we know of? I suspect that it was much older than your YE source claims. And I suspect that it would have been a lot less sophisticated than ziggurats of a more current date.
Finally I have made no claim of the dating of the first humans. I suspect that it would have been much older than 50,000 years. I have not looked into that for some time.

Let me summarize what I do believe. Human beings originated with one created couple. They lived somewhere and reproduced. Ultimately before they left the general area, the flood wiped out the most of them (According to the Bible account people at the earliest point were not adventurous and did not leave the area. Even after the flood they seemed reluctant to spread far until the Tower event.) I make no claims to any detailed knowledge of all this.
