@4:00 my try at a Ziggurat :D

[Janeliker]

very clever and interesting. But I don't think it is accurate enough - it was more like a stepped pyramid - this is too 'blocky' - also at the top you descended inside - it wasn't just a small room. Maybe this could just be improved a little? to include these factors. But good idea to do it like this, especially the end 'journey' up.

[Flamarow]

@Janeliker Thank you for the comment and I am glad you enjoyed it. When I was building this, I was trying to be very accurate with a scale of 1:1 ratio to the real Ziggurat of Ur. Unfortunately, it is a bit hard to get all the details I would have liked to have had into it. =\ Maybe some time in the future I will scale it up and add extra details. ^_^

[Janeliker]

@Flamarow I think the scale is fine, it's just the shape - it was a stepped pyramid but more gradual and would be great to show how you could go into at at the top. With your skill you'll easily be able to this but keep the good bit where you survey the land from the top! It is such an engimatic and atmospheric site it would be great to get those details, especially the correct shape. I can draw it with a pencil (I'm an artist) but couldn't do it on a computer. Good luck!

[hastyarcader]

would be a sssssssshame if a creeper came along and..

[JinGitaxias]

I have built one that's 80x80x64~, but it hasn't got the neat details like the one yours has.

I don't even know what religions used/are using ziggurats, and I don't know much about them, so I can't build it very well.

[Flamarow]

@JinGitaxias I did a lot of research in an attempt to make this as accurate as possible so I found out various bits of information other than just the design. *warning* History ahead

Ziggurats were typically built in honor of the most important god of that particular city. In the ancient city of Ur, the Etemennigur (or Ziggurat of Ur) was constructed in honor of the moon god Nanna or Sin in Akkadian. Etemennigur means "House whos Foundation Creates Terror." Google "Etemennigur" for this source.

[JinGitaxias]

@Flamarow Thanks for the reply, I might read more about it :)

[Dhzmul]

Ziggurats originated from ancient Mayans, then to the Egyptians who used them to worship there gods, then came Babylon who built many but the most known is the one for Marduk their chief god (took the form of a dragon).

[lordchazz52]

This could be in shadow of isrephel?

[Flamarow]

@lordchazz52 I am not sure what you mean by this question... =\ If you are asking if this was in the shadow of israphel series by the yogscast, then I don't think so but I have not watched all of the series.

[lordchazz52]

@Flamarow no i mean they could explore to this ziggurat and find Isrephel there and try to defeat him

[lordchazz52]
