dc.description.abstract | This study attempts to explore the architecture of Mesopotamian temples from
the Ubaid to the Old Babylonian period. It analyses the ways in which the layout of
the temples changed and developed through time. It argues how different factors such
as ideology, cosmology, religion and environment were reflected in the architecture
and function of temple complexes. The thesis also looks closely at the concept of the
temple as the house of god, and by comparing the selected temples of different
periods to the domestic architecture of the same period, aims to trace the influence
and reflection of the domestic structure on the sacred structure and to determine in
which period the structural similarity reaches its zenith and declines. Changes in
Mesopotamia’s social organization can be linked to these changes in temple layout | en_US |
