Egyptian pyramids are vaguely similar to Aztec ziggurats; pyramids have smooth sides, while ziggurats often have stepped sides.
Ziggurats are terraced pyramids with successively receding sides, while the Egyptian pyramids (the later ones anyway) have smooth sides going up to a paint. Also Ziggurats are temples while the pyramids are burial grounds.
I am sorry but we can't answer because we don't do homework. You need to do this. Do a Venn diagram to help you compare and contrast and then write. This is also a statement and not a question.
why were ziggurats so large
An architect named Imhotep.
The pyramids in Egypt were built with heavy, durable stone blocks and designed to withstand the test of time. In contrast, ziggurats in Mesopotamia were constructed using sun-dried mud bricks, which are more prone to erosion and deterioration over time due to their composition. Additionally, the harsh climate conditions in Mesopotamia have likely accelerated the decay of ziggurats compared to the more stable climate in Egypt.
YES
Pyramids were carved from stone, and Ziggurats were traditionally made with glazed bricks which apparently degraded more easily.
The ziggurat and the pyramid both had the same basic structure, although the ziggurats were built by the Sumerians and the pyramids were built by the Egyptians.

definitly the great pyramids!
Pyramids were carved from stone, and Ziggurats were traditionally made with glazed bricks which apparently degraded more easily.
The pyramids of Egypt were constructed using large and durable stones, while the ziggurats of Mesopotamia were made of mud bricks which are more susceptible to erosion and decay. Additionally, the dry climate of Egypt helped preserve the pyramids, whereas the wetter environment in Mesopotamia contributed to the disintegration of the ziggurats over time.
I believe they are called Ziggurats.

Mesopotamians built ziggurats which were structures that resembled step pyramids. These step pyramids could have up to seven levels or steps and had rectangular bases. The ziggurat was a temple used to honor their gods.
there made of stone like the pyramids andsphinx
