A ziggurat is a type of step pyramid that was constructed in ancient Mesopotamia. Unlike the smooth-sided pyramids of ancient Egypt, ziggurats are characterized by their tiered, stepped design, typically featuring multiple levels or terraces. They served as platforms for temples and were often dedicated to a particular deity, acting as a bridge between the earth and the heavens. The most famous ziggurat is the Great Ziggurat of Ur.
