The Tokyo Tower of Babel (Japanese: 東京バベルの塔) is a visionary 10 km hyper tall building that was proposed to be built in Tokyo in 1992. Even though it is unlikely to ever be built in the future, if it actually was built, it would be the tallest building on Earth. It would be taller than the current tallest structure, the Burj Khalifa, by 9,172 metres, and would be taller than Mount Everest by 1,152 metres. It would take 100 to 150 years to build and it would house about 30 million people.[1]

The origin of the Tokyo Tower of Babel is that it was named after the Tower of Babel[2][better source needed] and has similarities to the Tower of Babel.[1]
