I seriously doubt the "worm part" of this article. Do you have a source for this claim, such as a reference to an ancient text source (which may be criticized) or archeological publications? -- Jörgen Nixdorf

Which "worm part"? --θnce θn this island ^Speak 01:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stub Agenda[edit]

a note on naming conventions[edit]

please use adobe-brick for all instances of mud-brick in this text. mud-brick is a derogatory term used by archeologists from colonizing powers to imply a low level of development, sadly this convention has persisted in archeological literature. Moreover, mud-brick is actually inaccurate since the brick was a mixture of straw and clay and therefore technically adobe as opposed to pure clay (mud)

structure[edit]

I set up a general outline of the major built forms as well as the typical wikiformat. just slid your contribution into the correct section--Gurdjieff (talk) 15:24, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

renaming[edit]

i suggest renaming the article, Architecture of Iraq, since their is no article of such name, and forming one on this page, is very important.

architecture of Iraq spans a longer period than sumerian architecture. the early architecture of Iraq was sumerian so you can use text from this article as a section of that one.--Gurdjieff (talk) 06:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is misinformation on this page regarding urban planning, open court yard, and stepped pyramid being developed first by the Sumarians. There is evidence that in the ancient Vaastu Shastras that these were developed in ancient Indian culture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.163.22 (talk) 16:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
