A U.S. Army C-23 Sherpa aircraft, flies over the Ziggurat building at Ur, Iraq, July 18, 2005. A Ziggurat is a temple structure that was built to bring worshipers closer to their local god. The U.S. and Coalition Forces in Iraq are assisting in the preservation and protection of the structure by keeping it within the boundaries of Ali Base. The Ziggurat in Ur was built by a Sumerian king in the Third Dynasty. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Staff Sgt. Suzanne M. Day) (Released)
