**Sumerian ziggurats are stepped pyramids, but they are basically the same shape, that is, huge pyramid-shaped structures. The pyramids had a sacred purpose, in Mesopotamia they were temples and places of worship of the people, while in Egypt they were also sacred places with function and tombs and temples. These were very large architectural and construction projects, whose construction lasted several tens of years. Thousands of workers have been hired for these purposes, who have been forced to construct such buildings by exhausting labor.

The statement is true; Egyptian pyramids and Sumerian ziggurats were both monumental structures constructed through complex organization and large labor forces. The pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs, while ziggurats functioned as temples. Both projects required significant planning and resources to execute successfully.
