Question

Is this statement true or false? All Sumerian cities built ziggurats the same size

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

There were many Ziggurats in the history of the Sumerian civilization, and not all were built the same size. There are currently 32 different Ziggurats located in Iran and Iraq, and new examples of these millenary constructions are still being found.

For example, the largest is the Ziggurat of Ur, which is located near the current city of Nasiriyah in Iraq. Its size is impressive, only its base measures 201 feet x 147 feet x 49 feet high (but it was supposed to be much taller). It was especially dedicated to the god Nanna or moon god, which was one of the most important for the Sumerian culture. Its age is 4000 years.

While the Ziggurat of Nippur know that his measures were more impressive, although there is almost nothing left of his remains. The measurements of its square base were 296 feet per side and the height of only its first floor was 108 feet, but its maximum height is estimated to be between 197 and 278 feet. It was dedicated to the god Enlil, God of heaven and creation, Regidor of the cosmos. It is located near the current city of Diwaniya in Iraq.
