A New Tower in Babylon, Iraq?

Zec 5:11  And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

        This is interesting!  First, let us go back to Gen. 11.  There Nimrod built a city.  The people began to build a tower to reach into Heaven.  Instead of replenishing the earth as God had commanded, they proposed to settle down there and build their tower.  That Nimrod had a wife that began a Babylonian religion.

        In that religion Sumerimus, Nimrod's wife, and her son, Tammuz became the gods of Babylon.  Tammuz was killed by a wild boar, and each year they would spend forty days weeping for Tammuz.  At the end of that forty days they would celebrate the feast of Ishtah, which was to celebrate the resurrection of Tammuz.  They also had their Yule tide celebration.  This was in Babylon which is now Iraq.  That religion in the fall of Babylon (Iraq) was sent to Pergamas, where scripture says Satan's seat was.  The king of Pergamas willed the control of this religion to the emperors of Rome.  A Christian emperor refused the title for Christian reasons, and it was given to the bishop of Rome. 

        I just read an article on my computer that Iraq is proposing to build a new tower in Basra.  It is to have 241 floors, and be 3162 feet high.  Another tower to reach into heaven in Iraq, Babylon.  In Zech. 5:11 we read of the symbol of that chapter and how the stork was moving the ephah, which I believe is symbolic of the religion I have just mentioned.  The question then was, where will they bear the ephah? 

        Verse 11 answers to build it an house in the land of Shinar, where it shall be established and set on her own base.  My question is, Will Iraq try again and build her tower where it was originally built, and will the head of Babylon's religion move headquarters back to Iraq?
