The temple was started by Zerubbabel in about B.C.537. The alter was build at that time so that sacrifices could begin. But then some trouble arose from outsiders and work was stopped. It was resumed later and semi-finished in B.C. 516. The temple was never as complete as Solomons temple and it wasn't until the time of Herod the Great (20 or 21 B.C.) that a great construction began to almost completely redo the temple.

How long did it take to build the 2nd Temple?
According to traditional chronology, the Second Temple was built in 352 BCE (not 516).The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. Then, in about 538 BCE, Cyrus the Great decreed that a second temple be built in Jerusalem. The Second Temple was finally completed under King Darius I, in 521 BCE.An alternative viewpoint, put forward by some conservative Jews, is that it was actually completed in 352 BCE. This is based on the Chazal, which they regard as indisputably right, although written long after the events. The Chazal compresses the Persian period from a period of 208 years, with ten kings, to only 52 years, with four kings. It also says that Darius I was the predecessor of Cyrus the Great, rather than his successor (after Cambyses), in line with the Book of Daniel but in spite of the rather more reliable Book of Isaiah, supported by Second Chronicles and the Book of Ezra (eg Ezra chapter 4).
Is a ziggurat and a temple the same thing?
No, a ziggurat is a type of ancient Mesopotamian stepped pyramid structure that was used as a platform for a temple. A temple, on the other hand, is a building dedicated to religious or spiritual activities and rituals. Temples can take various forms and are not necessarily built on top of ziggurats.

How long did it take King Solomon to build the temple?
Ezra did not rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. It was Zerubbabel that rebuilt the temple after the Babylonian captivity. Ezra went to restore the spiritual life of the nation Israel. The rebuilding of the temple was completed in 516 B.C. and Nehemiah did not return to Jerusalem until 458 B.C. There is a 58 year gap between the end of Ezra chapter 6 and the beginning of Ezra chapter 7. So the temple was finished and in use for 58 years before Ezra came on the scene in Jerusalem.

How many years did it take Ezra to rebuild Jerusalem?
Ezra was presumably active during the time of Persian king Artaxerxes II, but some think he was active during the reign of Artaxerxes I which would make him a contemporary of Nehemiah. The Book of Ezra (7:1ff) gives Ezra the same genealogy as 1 Chronicles (5:34ff) gave Jesus ben Yehozedek 100 years earlier, apparently making them brothers in spite of the difference of so many years. There must at the very least have been some confusion about the historicity of Ezra. With the many parallels between the actions of Ezra and Nehemiah, some believe it is possible that Ezra was a priestly fiction. Ezra 5:2 says that Zerubbabel began to build the Temple, completing it (Ezra 6:15) in the sixth year of the reign of Darius, obviously before the time of Nehemiah or Ezra. Nehemiah 6:15 says the city wall was completed by Nehemiah in 52 days.
