The ziggurat, one of several structures built by the ancient Sumerians in what is now modern-day Iraq, was believed to be the dwelling place of the gods.  The temple at its summit was therefore off-limits to all but priests and other highly revered figures.  Today, the Great Ziggurat is undergoing careful restoration, carried out by local craftsmen using regionally sourced materials, including bricks specially produced to match original ancient samples.
