A '''Ziggurat''' is a stepped "mountain" with a temple on the top. Ziggurats look like a truncated [[pyramid]] with layers that form steps.  They were first built in [[Mesopotamia]], but are also found in may other parts of the world.  The native peoples of [[South America]] invented and built ziggurats that are strikingly similar to those of the [[Middle East]], even though it is believed that the two cultures never communicated with each other.
