Unlike the Egyptians, the Sumerians did not build pyramids, instead they built Ziggurats. These Ziggurats were huge structures, made of brick and comparable in size to a pyramid. In appearance they resembled a step pyramid. But they were not tombs, these were temples, sometimes with terraces planted with trees, scrubs and flowers. Similar in use to pyramid temples in the Americas.

Ziggurats
The Mesopotamians famously built ziggurats.
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.

Sumerians used baked mud bricks to build their ziggurats. These mud bricks were stacked on top of each other to create a terraced structure, which served as a platform for the temple at the top. The ziggurat was usually coated with a layer of plaster or clay to protect the bricks from erosion.
Ziggurats were important to the Sumerians because they were believed to be the dwelling places of the gods, connecting the earthly realm with the divine. They also served as administrative centers, where religious ceremonies and rituals took place. The ziggurats were a symbol of the Sumerians' power, wealth, and religious beliefs.
