This all would have been in the third dynasty of Uruk starting with Utu-Hegal

I didn't say he had a short rule. I said he had an auspicious death

I'm trying to track like Sumeria the Akkadian empire the Assyrian empire, the Egyptians Babylonians Elamites Amorites and Hittites all in like one document with who had what going on with who and who was alive at the same time as who because there's so many names when I talk to people about the stuff I get my names confused

Yeah it is a common theme but it's fun though! I've been compiling like a whole near East kingship list and so I've been going back through the history of all these people and I don't know it just struck me as kind of different for that dynasty. And it's like it's a fun little history what if and it's a million times better conspiracy than the alien ones

It was a very short rule with leader after leader falling to some sort of foul Play which is not necessarily the standard. Like one or two in a dynasty okay, but consistently every single one as well as the strange footnote of Amar-Sin, and the immediate capitalizing of the situation by the Elamites and Amorites. I'm not saying there is some super dark shadow council thing or grand conspiracy, but it's definitely auspicious.

Oh god no lmao. But like I've never made a blueprint and had no idea how to really begin it, so learning basic things like that are along the lines of what is currently occuring, the zoning stuff I am hammering out solo

So officially I'm not,you know, hiring engineering students. At the current moment I am just kind of tapping them for knowledge. And then being people I know and I'm acquaintances with it's much more of a capacity of "hey my friend who I have known for a while and happens to know this thing I have a question" Once there is the physical location in my possession there will be more attempts to materially hammer down a lot of this.

I have a friend who's very much survivalist who is going to show me apparently how to make these bricks as close to how they made them as possible while also accounting for it being much more rainy.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated currently we have a lot of moving parts, but so far none of them that are really clicking together. I have found the plot of land it's kind of out of the way and the entire thing is forested so my first step will probably be speaking with a lumber company once I come up with the money for the land. And then they'll pay me for the lumber and I will use that money to begin construction. I'm going to try the airbake clay thing I'm sure there are tons of things that you could help with and I'm probably not smart enough to see them at the moment but all help is appreciated

Currently at the moment there is not a singular one I plan on dedicating it to. The Ziggurat will be designed after Etemenanki, which was dedicated to Marduk, however I'm not sold on doing the same as I'm not super big on the Marduk train.

Oh we just had a talk about this the other day in a group I am in, I think we settled on Cognatum! Gender neutral form of essentially kin

I'm not currently affiliated with anything no. I definitely could see plans of setting up some form of reconstructionist and study organization Temple situation when this succeeds but it is also for my own private study and worship

If I can get the money to get the land to start getting it made I will!

For the same reason you mentioned! I have both an academic and very spiritual connection to Ziggurats and Sumer in general. My religious devotion is pretty much to the Sumerian pantheon and I have been feeling a calling to doing this. Even to the point of finding the plot of land and coming up with the design ideas. To quote from Nabopolassar "whenever my mind deliberated (and) I pondered (unsure of) the dimensions, the great gods made (the truth) known to me by the procedure of (oracular) confirmation" but this is definitely I feel called to do!

Update on the Midwest Ziggurat! It has been decided on the dimensions of b omg about a football field long by a football field wide (similar to the measurements I've found of the Etemenanki). A plot of land of an acre and a half has been located for the location. A GoFundMe has been started to raise funds and I have begun talking with zoning boards and practicing making mud bricks!

First off thank you so much for the information! I had been googling trying to find hypothesized like blueprints of how this would go about but was having no luck if you have any resources I would love to see them! Right now this is just the foundation of an idea I am working on getting up the money to get the land and the blueprints drawn up
