Word of the Day: ziggurat\ZIG-uh-rat\ noun: an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower consisting of a lofty pyramidal structure built in successive stages with outside staircases and a shrine at the top; also : a structure or object of similar form.
I find that word to be interesting. In old texts, Assyrian mostly I believe, there was a word in the language of Akkadian, "ziqqurratu", which was meant to describe towering Assyrian temples. I find ancient history fascinating, if only ancient history of the words.
I look at some structures we have built and wonder what people of older civilizations would have thought of them. Although I suppose now, with the Tesseract and such, we can ask people from different times what they think of our structures, do they please the eye?
When I was growing up and felt lost, I turned to learning to adjust my thinking and comfort myself. I find myself doing that here, as well.
