Originally the temples at the center of each city-state were built on a platform. As time passed, these platform temples evolved into temple-towers calledziggurats. The ziggurat was the first major building structure of the Sumerians. Constructed of sun-baked mud bricks, the ziggurats were usually colorfully decorated with glazed fired bricks.
