A ziggurat is a type of stepped pyramid that originates from ancient Mesopotamia. Unlike the smooth-sided pyramids of Egypt, ziggurats have a series of terraces or steps leading up to a flat top, often featuring a temple or shrine dedicated to a deity. They were constructed primarily from mud bricks and served both religious and administrative purposes in Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian cultures.
