The biggest landmark on the horizon at Tallil is the ziggurat. It's quite a monument and is truely on the level of Stonehenge, the Great Wall and the pyramids of Egypt. Here was the ancient city of Ur and there are tombs nearby as well. I've been in the tombs many times and they are completely swept clean. Here's a great pic of the ziggurat as well as a link.
