“He took me there.” (40:1) Ezekiel doesn’t need to say where - it’s the place where his heart and soul is, even though his body is in Babylon. But God gives him a vision of Jerusalem, and accompanied by an angel guide he walks around a magnificent new Temple.
The angel proceeds to measure every dimension of the building, and Ezekiel dutifully notes it all down. One interesting detail is that only a subset of the Levites - the sons of Zadok - will be allowed to serve in the new Temple. Only the best of the best.
The blueprint that Ezekiel gives is details enough for people to attempt a reconstruction. So of course they have.
