The Ziggurat

The main Attraction the Ziggurat.  Originally a temple to the Moon God, Sin it towers over the landscape.  The inside is actually filled with dirt making it a solid structure about 8 stories high.  The very top is in ruins and you can walk around it and see everything in the surrounding area. The temple site at the top doesn’t exist anymore, but its still something to see.  If you look you can see dark bricks at the bottom.  That line demarcates where the temple was reconstructed from the ruins.
