In these images, it is seen that there is an ornamented temple at the top of the ziggurat, reached by massive stairs. And as a result of this study, images that are estimated to resemble the original were produced. These studies consisted of various written sources and environmental information. Extensive research has been done to understand what the original state looks like. With the information obtained from the excavations, it was seen that the structure had an upper terrace in its original form. Although the temple part, which is thought to be on the top terrace, has completely disappeared today, the three main stairs that provide access to the terraces and doors were reached and restored after this excavation. The remaining base consisted of more than 720,000 meticulously stacked adobe bricks, each weighing 15 kg.

The Ziggurat of Ur during the excavation of Wolley_©C. After Woolley unearthed the remains, in the 1980s, during Saddam Hussein’s reign, the façade and the monumental stairs were partially reconstructed to restore their former appearance.
Woolley’s information from this excavation was that it was a massive rectangular pyramidal structure, 210 by 150 feet, oriented north, originally built with three levels of terraces, standing between 70 and 100 feet. With this excavation, the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia and the British Museum in London unearthed the entire monument in a joint project. Between 19, excavations were carried out under the leadership of Sir Leonard Woolley. Sir Leonard Woolley discovered the remains in the twentieth century. This information was obtained from the remains. However, it was in ruins during the Neo-Babylonian Empire in the 6th century and was restored by King Nabonidus. The structure was built in the early Bronze Age. The Ziggurat of Ur and the temple atop it were built around 2100 B.C.E., once an administrative capital of Mesopotamia, the great city of Ur, by Ur-Nammu of the Third Dynasty of Ur for the moon god Nanna, the city state’s divine patron.
