zikkurat
A ziggurat is a type of massive structure built in ancient Mesopotamia. It has a terraced step pyramid structure, often with a flat top and shrines or temples at the top level. These giant edifices were made of sun-dried bricks and are typically part of a larger temple complex. They served both as civic monuments, visible from long distances, and as religious sites, believed to connect heaven and earth. The most famous ziggurat is the Great Ziggurat of Ur in present-day Iraq.
