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.

Numerous important Ancient Civilizations developed in the Middle East. The most famous two were the Ancient Egyptians and the various Mesopotamian Civilizations (like the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, the Neo-Assyrians, and the Neo-Babylonians, etc.). There were also the Persian and Mede Empires, the Hittite and Lydian Anatolian civilizations, the Phoenicians, the Ancient Greek City States, the Israelites (divided between Israel and Judah), and the Arameans.
Egyptian hieroglyphics and Mesopotamian cuneiform are both ancient writing systems, but they differ in form and function. Hieroglyphics use pictorial symbols to represent sounds, words, or concepts and were primarily used for religious texts and monumental inscriptions. In contrast, cuneiform, developed by the Sumerians, involves wedge-shaped marks made on clay tablets and served a broader range of purposes, including administrative, legal, and literary texts. Additionally, hieroglyphics evolved into a complex system with both logographic and alphabetic elements, while cuneiform primarily represented syllables and ideas.

There were several of them. "Ancient" usually concerns the Civilizations that existed anytime between about 4,000 BC until the first century AD. Most well-known are the Sumerian, Mesopotamian and Persian civilizations and the Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations. In the Americas, the Inca and Maya civilizations, although younger, sometimes also are counted as 'ancient' civilizations.
The Minoans were located in Crete, an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea strategically positioned between Egypt and Mesopotamia. This proximity facilitated trade and cultural exchange between the civilizations, allowing the Minoans to be influenced by Egyptian and Mesopotamian art, technology, and ideas. Their access to sea routes also enabled them to engage in extensive maritime trade networks, further exposing them to external influences.
A ziggurat is an Ancient Mesopotamian stepped tower used to worship the gods. A pyramid is a large, smooth burial tomb for Ancient Egyptian kings.

Ziggurats were built by ancient Mesopotamian civilizations as religious temples to honor and worship their gods. They served as a link between the earth and the heavens, symbolizing the connection between humans and the divine.

Egypt lies in the fertile Nile River valley which is isolated from most civilizations at the time. Mesopotomian societies such as Sumer were under constant pressure from the outside world, and indeed Sumer fell to the Assriyns(mispelled I know) a barbaric Asian tribe.
