Jiroft Ziggurat

‪The Jiroft Ziggurat with an area of 16 Hectares which makes it three times bigger than the Biggest Egyptian Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) Is North Konar Sandal a ziggurat? A ziggurat is a temple-tower commonly believed to be of the Sumerian origin. Dr. Madjidzadeh has dated this structure to 2300 BC. Two superimposed platforms are located on the mound Konar Sandal North (Madjidzadeh, 2008, pp. 88-89). The upper structure measures 250 x 250 m and the lower 400 x 400 m. While opinions are divided among scholars whether the ziggurat like structure in Jiroft is a true ziggurat with such an early dating, the accompanying picture compares the measurements of the Biggest Egyptian Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) with an area of 52900 sq.mt. or 5.29 ha to the Jiroft Ziggurat with an area of 160000 sq.mt or 16 ha, making it three times bigger than Cheops (Khufu).‬
