This group gathers the sacred sites of ancient Mesopotamia, the temples and towering ziggurats of Sumer, Babylon and Assyria, raised to the gods of the world's earliest cities. The ziggurat, a stepped temple-tower, is among the most characteristic monuments of the ancient Near East.
The browser will find the temple-cities and sacred structures of the Mesopotamian civilisations. The entries describe each site's deity and history as a monument of a vanished religion.
