How many years were there between the Tower of Babel and the call of Abraham?

Approximately 200 years passed between the Tower of Babel and the call of Abraham. The transcript states that this span gives another approximate 200 years from Babel until Abraham's call, placing it within the timeline after the flood and before God began dealing specifically with Abraham.

Les explains that after approximately 200 years from the flood to the Tower of Babel, another approximate 200 years elapsed from the Tower of Babel until the call of Abraham. This places Abraham at the midpoint of the timeline. Before Abraham, God dealt with one race of people for the first 2000 years, with no organized system of worship, no temple, and no written law; salvation was by faith expressed through blood sacrifice. At Babel, the human race fell apart and became so wicked that God had no remedy but to destroy them, leading to the splitting into three races through Noah's sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth.
