The ziggurat at Aqar Quf rises 180 feet above the desert west of Baghdad. Soldiers of the 16th Engineer Brigade's Survey and Design Team traveled to the ancient ziggurat in Aqar Quf, March 11, to assess and verify the electrical needs of two modern structures on the site. The U.S. Army 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, and Iraq's Ministry of Antiquities is seeking to restore the modern buildings around the site in an attempt to revitalize tourism in the area.
