What this article is

Etemenanki was a Babylonian ziggurat dedicated to the Mesopotamian god Marduk. It is now in ruins, which are located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Baghdad. Some scholars have proposed Etemenanki as the ziggurat that may have influenced the biblical account of the Tower of Babel.

How this was measured

Views are Wikimedia's own pageview counts for en.wikipedia, filtered to agent=user so automated traffic is excluded. The baseline is the median of the previous 60 days, which is used instead of the mean so that an earlier surge cannot flatten a later one. The multiple is the day's views divided by that median.
