Nimrod means "rebellion" or "the valiant". He is the son of Cush and he might have lived from 1693 FC to 2173 FC (2275 BC – 1795 BC | he could have lived for 480 yrs). Cush might be 35 yrs old when Nimrod was born.

Why we chose that time?

Nimrod and Asshur built Babel and Nineveh, respectively – and Nimrod was the grandson of Ham, and Asshur was son of Shem. The second and first generations after the flood. Given this information, the destruction of Babel most likely happened in the first 100-200 years after the flood
