Ziggurats and stuff...

Last Friday we learned about ziggurats. Ziggurats are large flat-looking pyramids that were used as temples to worship idols. There are a lot of them found in ancient Sumeria in the area called Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq. Mesopotamia was in the fertile crescent and between two rivers: the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The people of ancient Sumeria were really smart. They had running water and flushing toilets in some homes!

Did you know that ancient rulers in that area would be buried with their best servants and even food? They were also buried with treasures. They thought they had a second life. We do have a second life, but we will have it in heaven where God will provide...so don't be buried with servants and food - you won't need it!
