Description
Summary:This article studies a small Late Babylonian tablet inscribed with a drawing previously interpreted as showing a ziqqurrat. It is demonstrated that the tablet does not depict a whole ziqqurrat but most probably only a stairway to the first level of a ziqqurrat. The stairway is of a previously unknown type but there are parallels with the ziqqurrat of Ur-Namma at Ur.
