The city contained a Ziggurat and temples dedicated to Sumerian gods, as well as a royal palace. It was excavated by Iraqi Archaeologists between 1943 - 1945 . The ziggurat was unusually well-preserved, standing to a height of about 170 feet. It was "restored" to its first level by the Saddam Hussein government during the 1970s . |
