I'm not familiar with that book, unfortunately, there are lit. hundreds of them. The quotes I made were from the nine vol. book named Histories by the Greek historian Herodotus, written down some 2500+ years ago.

babel = etemenanki? (according to the researcher at the link, he thinks herodotus is full of it. you might find this very interesting)

Yes, Herodotus made many claims that sounds spurious to modern historians, but like I said, it was supposed to have been destroyed by Alexander the Great, not God. And Herodotus is one of the only "Western" sources we have. So we don't really have much to base our assumptions upon. It's like with the hanging gardens and all those other wonders, we can only assume. However most such ziggurats that we can study the remains from, seem to have been step pyramids with massive ramps, anyway, winding staircase or not, it's built like a mound, and artificial mountain if you like, to allow the people of the great plains of Mesopotamia to elevate themselves towards heaven just like the people further north and east, where sacred mountains filled the same purpose. Below is the Wiki page for the Ziggurat of Ur:

Ok, I meant Hollywood, I thought it was made there. Still, if you drilled a hole relatively straight down from the Euphrates region (about 50°E) and through the earth (figurative speech), you would end up on the West Coast of North America (about 120° W), missing by only 10° if you'd go dead straight through the centre of the planet, you'd end up just off the coast of San Fransisco. USA is right below Babylon and the plains of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. The way I interpret the Apocalypse, whenever the Abyss is mentioned, USA seems to pop up straight in the middle.

Like I said, I don't really know. Nothing is really impossible, the impossible just takes a bit more time and fiddling normally. The four summoned fallen angels could have been four planes. The two in NY, the one that was shot down, and the one they rammed into Pentagon. Four angels, meaning four planes? Waiting for the day when everything fits, when the numbers all add up to their spectacular event: The date corresponding to vv. 9:11 & 20:01 of the Apocalypse, keyword is ἄβυσσος.
For I should probably correct myself, what I meant was that whenever the Abyss or the Bottomless Pit is mentioned in Revelation, USA and Iraq seem to flash up. Al Qaida sprung up in Iraq. ISIL developed from Al Qaida Iraq. And there is the fifth trumpet which to me can only be the first Gulf War. In verse 9:11 the Abyss is mentioned, then again in verse 20:01. The ones who orchestrated the 9-11 seems to have been quite familiar with Christian eschatology.

These terrorist attacks and following wars are the supposed effect of opening the gate between the two worlds, when the serpent bites its tail so to speak. It's not about who is who, but we can't neglect the fact that USA is THE most destructive military power the world has ever seen, but who carries the mark of God and not has nothing to do with national or religious denomination. Its the globalist world in confrontation with medieval traditionalism.
Using my chronological and historical approach to the Apocalypse, the effects of opening the gate to the Abyss (Abyssos, Apsu) seem to involve conflicts between USA and Iraq. It is the conflict itself which is essential here, not the ones fighting, they are all consumed by the conflict.
Personally, like I said earlier, I interpret Apsu as an underground sea of freshwater, whose fountains and sources were used for irrigation together with Tiamat who would be the rivers while Kingu would be the canals.
