Where's Waldo?
Shinar is both Northern and Southern Babylonia or just about anywhere you want that is between the Black Sea and the Persian Gulf.

currently known ziggurats
TTBOMK, there are 30 or so known ziggurats, spread out over Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan and parts of Turkey. Any of those could actually be the fabled tower, or it could be one yet to be rediscovered.
​
The point is that the ziggurat was not an unusual structure and any city-state with the wealth required might have had one.
