Answer:
A Sumerian city was deemed as geographically large and politically important if it had a ziggurat.
Explanation:
- In ancient times, the administrative buildings and the places of worship in the city determined the significance of the cities.
- In the Mesopotamian civilization, a special structure called ziggurat was build to serve as the heightened platform to dispense ease while talking to God.
- The people then believed that God lives in the skies and in order to make him listen to the prayers, it is better to go a little closer to him by climbing up to tall places.
