Birs Nimrud Restoration
The Wikipedia article states that Nebuchadnezzar adopted a design for the reconstruction of the
temple of the seven spheres that was based upon an even larger stepped tower, or ziggurat that lay
closer to the center of the city of Babylon. This greater tower is Etemenanki which translates as
“House of the platform of Heaven and Earth.” Less remains of Etemenanki today than remains of Birs
Nimrud. Some have proposed that Etemenanki is the site of the original tower of Babel.

The image above is an artist’s rendering of Etemenanki in the city of Babylon found on the website

When I look at this, I see clear parallels to Macon, Georgia and the Ocmulgee Great Temple Mound.
