I've always liked the mystery of pyramids, and ziggurats are the oldest kind. I like the idea of a spiral ascension to enlightenment, too. No direct path.

Ziggurat is the the title song and name of my first music CD (1996). It's a heavy prog-rock song about sending soldiers in to "quiet the locals" to accept iron rule. It was written at the time Bosnia was happening. Didn't know how appropriate it would be for today's war in Iraq. At the end, the gods were not there at the holy ziggurat for the returning soldier. I kinda like the name Zig as well for short. (The cartoon character seems existential and underdog, but that wasn't an inspiration for taking the name.) The great ziggurat in Iraq is cool. I'm glad we didn't blow it up.
