Outer shell
 The mud-brick core of the ziggurat was covered with baked bricks. Each baked bricks measured 31 x 31 x 9 cm. Some of these bricks were stamped with the name and title of Nabonidus, who rebuilt the ziggurat. These are slightly larger than the bricks Ur-Nammu used to build the ziggurat originally. So even if they are not stamped, we can tell they belong to Nabonidus' rebuilding. |
