The Borsippa Ziggurate One of the most important Ziggurate in the ancient city of Babylon, southwest of Babylon in central present-day Iraq. Its construction dates back to the time of Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (605-562 BC), who built the Ezida temple in the city by King Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC) and converted it into the temple of the god Nabu son of Marduk the city of Babylon.
