I watched a documentary about the pyramids, and one of the pyramid was designed to keep water from coming into it, but the vents were angle downwards, so in case of a flood, the water will rise upward and pushes more air in the chambers but prevent the water from coming into the chambers of the pyramid. And in one of the books that they have found said this:
Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod
And so they were trying to protect themselves from God's wrath and which that had offended God.
The Hebrews had branched from the Mesopotamian and became wanderers that lived on the borders of the cities, like roaming Gypsies, a nomadic tribe, a people without a nation. The Mesopotamian had written their own made up history, but God had told Moses to write down what really happened, keeping the truth about history in the world.
Book of Jasher, Chapter 27:1 And Esau at that time, after the death of Abraham, frequently went in the field to hunt.
2 And Nimrod king of Babel, the same was Amraphel, also frequently went with his mighty men to hunt in the field, and to walk about with his men in the cool of the day.
3 And Nimrod was observing Esau all the days, for a jealousy was formed in the heart of Nimrod against Esau all the days.
4 And on a certain day Esau went in the field to hunt, and he found Nimrod walking in the wilderness with his two men.
5 And all his mighty men and his people were with him in the wilderness, but they removed at a distance from him, and they went from him in different directions to hunt, and Esau concealed himself for Nimrod, and he lurked for him in the wilderness.
6 And Nimrod and his men that were with him did not know him, and Nimrod and his men frequently walked about in the field at the cool of the day, and to know where his men were hunting in the field.
7 And Nimrod and two of his men that were with him came to the place where they were, when Esau started suddenly from his lurking place, and drew his sword, and hastened and ran to Nimrod and cut off his head.
Jasher [E] [H]
(upright ),Book of ("the book of the upright" ), alluded to in two passages only of the Old Testament. ( Joshua 10:13 ) and 2Sam 1:18 It was probably written in verse; and it has been conjectured that it was a collection of ancient records of honored men or noble deeds. It is wholly lost.
Joshua 10:13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.

Nimrod only had lived until he were about 300 or more since he was killed, and Ham probably was killed as well; Ham was the oldest son and Shem was the youngest, and so someone like Nimrod was floating around, wanting to be the best, probably has killed them as well. During the time of Moses, their Holy scriptures at the time was the book of Jasher and which in the book of Joshua had determine that they had read.
Matthew 23:35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Actually, the Bible refers to the circuit of the sun in Ps 19:4-6, also see Ps 104:19; Ecc 1:5.
You might find these two videos interesting.
Both are excellent, neither is light weight.
The first one is pure science, while
the second one starts off with the astronauts landing on the moon and then moves to the topic.

Jewish history (the Bible) records it differently.
The Ark that went before them found their place to rest (Nu 10:33), and the cloud
over the ark directed them where to camp and when to break camp (Nu 9:15-23, cf Ex 40:36-38).
They didn't move until the cloud moved.
They did not move aimlessly in the wilderness, their paths were directed by God (Nu 9:23)
whose presence they acknowledged in the tabernacle (Pr 3:6; cf Ps 73:24, 48:14; Ro 8:14)

According to the January 2015 edition of National Geographic, there exists
human cave art and artifacts that date back 100,000 years.
According to Gen 1:24-31, God created humans and all land animals on the
sixth day; which has to include dinosaurs because on no other day did God
create land animals but the sixth. Some Christians suffer anxiety over
dinosaurs because paleontologists have easily dated them to cease existing
a good many thousands of years prior to the emergence of mammals; but
that's not really a problem if we but permit creation's days to be epochs of
indeterminate length rather than 24-hour calendar events.
According to Gen 6:14, Noah coated the inside and outside of the ark with a
material called bitumen; which is a naturally-occurring kind of asphalt
formed from the remains of ancient, microscopic algae (diatoms) and other
once-living things. In order for bitumen to be available in Noah's day, the
organisms from whence it was formed had to have existed on the earth
several thousands of years before him.

The science of egocentricity, and it is a science.
Since all measurements of the universe are relative to the point of reference,
all empirical measurements used to show the sun as the center of the universe also work
to show the earth as the center of the universe.
Scientists have just chosen the Copernican model for interpretation of their meausrements
instead of the revelatory model.
There's even a motion graphic in the first one showing what the path of the sun and our moon
would be in relation to a stationary earth.
The appearance is the same as in relation to a rotating revolving earth.
It is science that cannot be ignored, any more than the origin of matter/energy can be ignored.
