Sacred Sites of Mesopotamia

This group gathers the sacred sites of ancient Mesopotamia, the temples and towering ziggurats of Sumer, Babylon and Assyria, raised to the gods of the world's earliest cities. The ziggurat, a stepped temple-tower, is among the most characteristic monuments of the ancient Near East.

The browser will find the temple-cities and sacred structures of the Mesopotamian civilisations. The entries describe each site's deity and history as a monument of a vanished religion.
