Great Ziggurat of Ur. The Ziggurat was built as a place of worship, dedicated to the moon god Nanna (or Suen. The name Nanna is Sumerian for "illuminator."), in the Sumerian city of Ur in ancient Mesopotamia (30°57′46″N, 46°06′10″E). The temple, a huge stepped platform, was constructed approximately in the 21st century BC by king Ur-Nammu. In Sumerian times it was called Etemennigur. Today, after more than 4000 years, the ziggurat is still well preserved in large parts as the only major remainder of Ur in present-day southern Iraq.
