I learned much more yesterday! Apparently the process of making ziggurats was started by the Sumerians and continued by the Assyrians, Akkadians, and Babylonians. Only one could be in each city because each city worshipped only one “patron god.” Ancient Mesopotamia had about 32 ziggurats in the area, one to each city. I also briefly spoke to one of the priestesses and she said that the top level of the ziggurat is a shrine where only the priests and priestess can go. She was also apparently chosen as a representative for the gods by the gods, allowed to speak directly with their physical form. She seemed very proud. Anyway, I want to go look at other ziggurats around Mesopotamia! Bye!
