A trip down memory lane. Truth is stranger than fiction.

For those of you who are unfamilar with DCP and the Ziggurat, this is a must read.

It's too bad that we will never see a Mormon Interpreter version of the Ziggurat being bulit, due to its dire financial condition.

The FARMS Ziggurat would have been of substantial importance on the campus of BYU. It could have withstood a siege by critics for over a fortnight.

A beacon set ablaze from the topmost altar would have been visible from as far away as Lehi. Many yet to be invented ceremonies could have been held in the Throne Room, including the investiture of all succeeding FARMS Directors. BYU gardeners could have added sufficient foliage to the battlements to make the FARMS Ziggurat a true wonder of the modern world.

It would have made the front cover of Mesopotamia Today.

Thank you, Kerry. If I was younger I would join the Elder's Quorum Master Debater team. How about you? Do you think we can count on Shulem?
