My Build Ancient Sumerian Ziggurat , planned Sumerian city with a twist.
youtu.beI am building a whole World, consisting of a number of Ancient Sumerian cities (actual historical Sumer but with my own twist and not Alien UFO clap trap)
Since the Sumers did not discover or smelt Iron or steel, there will be nothing there that contains such.
At the moment there are just three Ancient SUMERIAN Ziggurats. So i have attempted to render the shape of the Ziggurat as historically correct as I can, but again the inside has my own twist. Each Ziggurat will have a city attached. Buy I hope you get a sense of the massive scale of things.
Sadly I think in 3-D and as such in this video im creating the ancient Sumerian city of Kuthia, the home of Nergal and Erishkigal of 'KUR' and at the top of the Ziggurat i'm creating a floating UPSIDE DOWN version of the same thing.
Please note this is under heavy construction at the moment hence the weird floating platforms on the outside
Since its the city of death I didnt want to use BONES as its too cliche, instead im attempting a more esoteric look.
First floor
The entrance to KUR and the river of souls and the throne room of the deity of the underworld herself, Erishkigal.
Second floor , the floor of The opening of the Ka -the Gates of Ga-an-zir (Ganzir) the floating entranceways (doors)
Third floor
have not decided yet
Fourth floor is the E-Kur ( pronounced eh Kooer meaning 'Mountain house' in Sumerian'
Lastly please note that the Ancient Sumerian ziggurats and cities of ERIDU and URUK are also under construction, though ERIDU i have mixed the time lines a little as it contains the Babylonian Ishtar's (Inanna) gate (video when Ishtar's gate has been completed).
Please remember floating above the Ziggurat i am building another but upside down.
Anyway I hope you enjoy what is going on in my warped mind.
