Perihal e-buku ini

Ziggurat Structures explores the towering monuments of ancient Mesopotamia, examining their architectural evolution, religious significance, and pivotal role in early urban centers. These structures were not merely temples; they were integral to the socio-political and religious fabric of Mesopotamian civilization. Intriguingly, ziggurats served as tangible symbols of a city's power and connection to the gods, influencing urban planning and legitimizing royal authority.

The book meticulously examines the architectural development of ziggurats, tracing their evolution from early iterations to monumental forms in cities like Ur and Babylon. It also delves into the religious beliefs and rituals associated with these sacred spaces, connecting the earthly and divine realms.

Drawing on archaeological excavations and cuneiform texts, the book reconstructs ancient Mesopotamian practices and demonstrates how these structures influenced the layout of cities and the consolidation of power. Each chapter builds upon the previous, starting with an introduction to the ziggurat concept and culminating in an examination of their lasting legacy.
