Field Museum 'reuniting' scattered collections from ancient Iraq site (0 words)
Kish is one of the world's oldest cities and site of the earliest evidence of wheeled transport.
Initial excavations at Kish centered on the Uhaimir mound, the location of a famous ziggurat, which is a temple tower in the form of a terraced pyramid of successively receding stories.
Later, workers turned to a cemetery, where they uncovered Kish's famous chariot burials, wherein chariots pulled by teams of live oxen were buried alongside high status individuals to provide a means of transport in the afterlife.
