Answer:
Ziggurat, pyramidal stepped temple tower that is an architectural and religious structure characteristic of the major cities of Mesopotamia (now mainly in Iraq) from approximately 2200 until 500 bce. ... The ziggurat was always built with a core of mud brick and an exterior covered with baked brick.
Today, about 25 remain, found in an area from southern Babylonia all the way north to Assyria. The best preserved is the ziggurat of Nanna in Ur (today Iraq), while the largest is found at Chonga Zanbil in Elam (today Iran).
