The correct answer is: **all of the above**.
All of the stated reasons contribute to the scarcity of surviving structures from ancient Mesopotamia. The use of clay bricks makes them more susceptible to erosion, many ruins have been repurposed as quarries for other building projects, and conflicts over the centuries have led to destruction and looting of these ancient sites.
