Quoted text:
The planet with the longest and outermost orbit, Saturn, was assigned the ziggurat’s bottom level, while that with the shortest orbit, the moon, was placed at the top.
Can you help us fact-check this and make suggestions if necessary? This statement would conveniently ignore that the fourth stage of the ziggurat represented the sun, per Henry C. Rawlinson 1861, p. 20.
