The ziggurat of Etemenanki found in the ancient city of Babylon is thought to be the likely remains of the Tower of Babel. There is nothing left of the structure itself. The deep impression that still exists from its base shows it was a massive building. It had dominated the city of Babylon having seven storeys and reaching 295 ft. high, but now it is just a heap of rubble a hundred metres from the late Saddam Hussein's palace in Baghdad.

In what Middle East country can the Tower of Babel be seen?
The Tower of Babel never really existed outside the Bible and certain Jewish midrashim. When the Jews arrived in Babylon during the Babylonian Exile, they were amazed to see the great stepped pyramid which, to their rustic eyes, seemed to go almost to heaven. They learnt of Sumerian epics that describe a time when all humans shared a single language until the gods intervened to create a confusion of tongues. Thus, Jewish lore syncretised these discoveries to create the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. The stepped pyramid no longer exists, but it was in Babylon, in what is now Iraq.

All eight towers can be climbed by a spiral way running around the outside, and about halfway up there are seats for those who make the journey to rest on."
