Temple complex - largest stone temple in the world, carved into stone from the top down
Depict moment as it's being carved, when a gate at the front has already been completed

Legend: Built for the sick husband of the empress/queen -> He would be cured if within a week a temple's top could be built, The architect took a backwards approach and started from the top-down (carving in the stone), so the top was built within a week
Babylonian Empire

The Ishar Gate already built, it makes somewhat historical sense that these people would build gates to commemorate events/deities.
What if Babylon didn't collapse and continues to thrive? A second gate similar to the Ishtar one, but grander, is built.
In honor of Utu/Shamash - the ancient Mesopotamian god of the Sun (also revered as the god of truth, justice, and morality)
