Ancient city of Mesopotamia (located mainly in modern-day Iraq). It dates from circa 3,800 B.C. The site is noted for its prominent ziggurat. It started to decline from around 550 BC and was no longer inhabited after about 500 BC, probably due to drought, changing river patterns, and the silting of the outlet to the Persian Gulf.
