Exploring Sumerian Architecture

The Sumerians were a civilization that flourished in Mesopotamia, known for their innovative and impressive architectural achievements. Their ziggurat temples, such as the one at Eridu, were a testament to their ingenuity.

One of the most notable Sumerian architectural features is the use of stepped pyramids, like the Ziggurat of Ur. This style of construction was likely influenced by the Sumerians' love of geometry and their need for a stable and secure foundation.
