EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view photograph, taken circa 1920s, showcases the ancient Ziggurat of Ur in Iraq, a remarkable architectural masterpiece of the ancient Sumerian civilization. The Ziggurat, located in the eastern part of the country, is nestled among the sands of time, its grandeur undiminished despite the passage of millennia. The image reveals the intricate design of this ancient structure, with its stepped pyramid shape, reminiscent of a giant lantern, rising majestically towards the sky. The steps, once used for religious ceremonies and pilgrimages, are clearly visible, leading up to the temple at the summit. The Ziggurat of Ur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is believed to have been built around 2100 BC and was dedicated to the moon god Nanna. It was a significant center of worship and political power during the Ur III Dynasty. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, provides a unique perspective of this ancient wonder, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur and scale in a way that was not possible during that era. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Persia.
