Jorden Colon · Answer 1

The people of Ur used stone to make its ziggurat. It is one of the few well preserved structures of the pre-Sumerian city of Ur. Ur was an important city-state in Mesopotamia, close to present's southern part of Iraq. It was built during the Bronze Age (21st century BC).

Joaquin Herman · Answer 2

The materials for the Ur ziggurat were bricks of mud and a material called bitumen. If the bricks were stacked with only mud between them, they would not have lasted long.
