they are ancient towering,stepped structurures made out of mud brick
why were ziggurats so large
Mud bricks used to construct ziggurats were primarily made from a mixture of clay, mud, and straw. This combination provided the necessary binding properties and strength. The bricks were formed in molds and then sun-dried to harden. This building material was widely available and effective for creating the massive structures characteristic of ziggurats in ancient Mesopotamia.
Ziggurats were first built by the Summerians in 5200 BCE.
Ziggurats were so tall because they believed Mesopotamians to link the heavens and earth.
no.
It was made in 4000 B.C.

there made of stone like the pyramids andsphinx
Pyramids were carved from stone, and Ziggurats were traditionally made with glazed bricks which apparently degraded more easily.

The Sumerians used baked mud bricks to construct their ziggurats. These bricks were made from clay mixed with water, shaped, and then baked in the sun or a kiln to harden. The ziggurats were then built by stacking these bricks on top of each other.
No, the Incas did not build ziggurats. Ziggurats are ancient Mesopotamian temple structures made of stacked layers, while the Incas constructed stone structures like Machu Picchu in Peru using a technique called ashlar masonry.

The ziggurats were invented in Mesopotamia.

Ziggurats are made of mud, or clay , of stones that they found out in the area. Usually it was made of hardened sand that the Sumerians made by dipping sand in water and then drying it in the sun. Or they were made by boulders that were found in the wilderness like in canyons or caves.
