Anunnaki - Nanna

In ancient Mesopotamian mythology, Nanna was considered the god of the moon - known as the "bright" and the son of Enlil and Ninil. It is estimated that the massive temple - the Step Pyramid - measured approximately 64 meters in length, 45 meters in width, and more than 30 meters in height. The temple was surrounded by a wall up to 8 meters. But we can only talk about estimates, because only the foundations of this building have been preserved.
