Question

describe the sacred temple of mesopotamia​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Sacred Temples:

(i) Each city of Mesopotamia had its separate protector God. The people built sacred temples or ziggurats or ‘Hill of Heavens’ on the artificial high hill in memory of their patron God in the centre of the city.

(ii) Every big temple had a huge tower like multi-storeyed building. Out of these ziggurats, the prominent ones were the temple of the Moon God Mannar at Ur the temple of the Sun God shams at Lagash and the Temple of God Enlil at Nippur.

These were multi-storeyed buildings where the upper floor was successively smaller than the lower one.
