Fascinating Facts about the Scene at the Ziggurat

In Mesopotamia, the region between the Euphrates and Tigris, ziggurats shaped the landscape. These step-like temple towers were mostly made of baked clay bricks and symbolized the connection between heaven and earth. Each ascent led to a sacred platform where sacrifices were made to gods or rituals were held. Children played an important role in society: they learned early craft techniques and religious rituals. The two depicted may be accompanying a priest or serving as bearers of offerings.

The clothing of the children was made from wool or linen fabric and often adorned with simple patterns. Colorfully designed wall reliefs and ceramics show that the Mesopotamians already knew vibrant pigments – from ochre to red to azure blue. Your coloring template reflects this color variety: you can use sandy shades, brick red, and heavenly blue lapis lazuli.

Ziggurats stood in cities like Ur, Babylon, or Nineveh and were social centers. Their peak was considered the dwelling of gods, while the base provided access for the population. While coloring, you can imagine traders, priests, and craftsmen lingering at the foot of the stairs.
