<span>Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered—that of neither has been answered fully.

A ziggurat is a temple of ancient Mesopotamia that has the shape of a pyramid. The design of a ziggurat goes from a simple base with a temple on top. The base could be rectangular, oval or square. The ziggurat's core - the part not exposed to the weather - was built of sun-dried bricks, while the outer part was covered with cooked bricks, which could also be vitrified in different colors; the access was made by stairs located on the sides of the ziggurat or spiraling up to the top. One of the best preserved is that of Choga Zanbil in present-day Iran, in the territory between Iraq and Iran. The oldest preserved ziggurat is that of Kashan dating back to the third millennium BC.
