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.

Why have the pyramids of Egypt survived whereas the ziggurats of Mesopotamia have not?

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.

Why have pyramids in Egypt survived whereas the ziggurats of mesapotamia have not?

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.
