Where I want to go.

The Ziggurat of Ur. Very impressive. There used to be a large center-piece in the middle, possibly two or three times the height of the existing structure. Used as a temple, Ziggurats were constructed all over mesopotamia. Next to this structure is the city of Ur, including the House of Abraham. This was his 'hood when he was growing up to about 60 years old. Course, he lived to be hundreds of years old. People lived to be very old in the old testament. After he developed the monotheism theory, he set off from here to Egypt to spread the word.
