Sumerian ziggurats were typically built in the center of major cities, serving as religious and administrative centers. Some well-known examples include the ziggurat at Ur and the ziggurat at Eridu.
The Ziggurat of Ur-Nammu and the Great Pyramids of Giza are both ancient structures, but they have key differences. The Ziggurat of Ur-Nammu is a stepped pyramid in Mesopotamia, primarily used for religious purposes and worship. The Great Pyramids of Giza, on the other hand, are massive tombs in Egypt built as burial monuments for pharaohs. Additionally, the Great Pyramids of Giza are larger in scale and more complex in construction compared to the Ziggurat of Ur-Nammu.
The ziggurat at Ur was excavated by Sir Leonard Woolley in the 1920s. Woolley's excavation revealed the remains of the ancient Sumerian city of Ur, including the ziggurat dedicated to the moon god Nanna.

Ziggurat temples were structures built in ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in present-day Iraq and Iran. One well-known ziggurat temple is the Great Ziggurat of Ur in Iraq.
The Ziggurat of Ur is the first proper Ziggurat for which we have any evidence. However, There are raised pyramidal structures that preceded it like Tepe Sialk in Persia, but these are not proper ziggurats. See the link below to learn more about Tepe Sialk.
