It was originally called all hallows eve. People would leave treat and goods outside for the spirits. They would even dress up as them to "blend in" I guess. Over the years it has become more of a fun thing to do, rather than a serious thing that it used to be some time ago.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

<h2>A. Temple platform.</h2>

Explanation:

Ziggurat at Ur was multilevel place of worship, it had steps all around it. Such buildings were located at the centre of Mesopotamian cities after 200 BC. They were extraordinary structures made of sun-dried mud bricks.

Although they looked sturdy but the sun baked bricks made them delicate, they had to be rebuilt after every hundred years. The rains softened the bricks and the lower section often gave way due to soft bricks.

Their design was such that they could easily drain water. It also had layers of bitumen, grass-like plants. A waterproof tar was also laid between the mud bricks to protect it from water.
