Josephus on Nimrod

"In Genesis 11:4, the people say, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heaven”. 
If Nimrod founded the city of Babel, it is likely he would have been part of this plan.
 
Josephus states of Nimrod 
He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have
a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers
 
(Antiquities of the Jews, Book 1, Chapter 4)."
