The Ziggurat

The ziggurat itself is the base on which the White Temple is set. Its purpose is to get the temple closer to the heavens, and provide access from the ground to it via steps. The Mesopotamians believed that these pyramid temples connected heaven and earth.

The actual ziggurat is the base on which the White Temple is set. Its motivation is to draw the sanctuary nearer to the sky, and give access from the beginning it through advances. The Mesopotamians accepted that these pyramid sanctuaries associated paradise and earth.The Ziggurat at Ur and the sanctuary on its top were worked around 2100 B.C.E. by the lord Ur-Nammu of the Third Dynasty of Ur for the moon god Nanna, the heavenly supporter of the city state
