Sumerians May Have Built Advanced Spaceports and Launched Spaceships, but only in a vague Start Trek-tech kind, and so Traveled in Space. The ziggurat was built by the Sumerian King Ur-Nammu and his son Shulgi in approximately the 21st century BCE (short chronology) during the Third Dynasty of Ur. The massive step pyramid measured 210 feet (64m) in length, 150 feet (46m) in width, and over 100 feet (30m) in height. The height is speculative, as only the foundations of the Sumerian ziggurat have survived.
ZIggurat, a pyramidal stepped temple tower that is an architectural and religious structure characteristic of the major cities of Mesopotamia (now mainly in Iraq) from approximately 2200 until 500 BCE. The buildings were created to be home to the patron god or goddess of the city. As religion was central to Mesopotamian life, the ziggurat was the heart of the city of these were solid structures with no large internal spaces.
