Detailed explanation-1: -The Sumerians who worked on top of ziggurats were the priestly class. Ziggurats were large temples of mud brick, and atop each ziggurat was where the priests attempted to intercede with the gods on behalf of Sumerians.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sumerians made the first ziggurats this way in 4000 BC–before we had writing, or even the wheel. Nebuchadnezzar built the last great ziggurat in Babylon in 600 BC. Archaeologists locate some twenty ziggurats in the region.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ziggurat was always built with a core of mud brick and an exterior covered with baked brick. It had no internal chambers and was usually square or rectangular, averaging either 170 feet (50 metres) square or 125 × 170 feet (40 × 50 metres) at the base.
