Quotes About Ziggurat

This huge tower would become the new cosmic mountain of the gods. They would engage in an occultic ceremony that would transform the ziggurat into a portal, a literal stairway to heaven that would enable the pantheon to recruit from the myriads of Elohim's heavenly host to join their revolution. The original two hundred had accomplished much since the days of Noah. They eagerly imagined what they could do with thousands or even millions.
~ Brian Godawa
What makes one Sumerian city better than another one? A bigger ziggurat? A better football team? Better me. What are me? Rules or principles that control the operation of society, like a code of laws, but on a more fundamental level. I don't get it. That is the point. Sumerian myths are not 'readable' or 'enjoyable' in the same sense that Greek and Hebrew myths are. They reflect a fundamentally different consciousness from ours.
~ Neal Stephenson
