Explanation:

Ancient Mesopotamian civilizations like Babylonia centered much of their monumental architecture on religious devotion. The Tower of Babel is described in sources as a ziggurat, a structure dedicated to worshipping and honoring their gods, and the Hanging Gardens, while linked to a king, were also tied to religious and divine-associated practices of the culture.
