Rawlinson and several Assyriologists examined the excavated ruins and found that the tower consisted of seven stages of brick‐work, each stage of a different colour, which shows that the temple was devoted to the seven planets. Even with its three higher stages or floors in ruins, it still rises now 154 feet above the level of the plain. (”See Borsippa”.)
