Ziggurat or Pyramid model for Social Studies???

Question

I need to construct model of some "piece" of history, such as a ziggurat or a pyramid. Maybe you can think of something better?
The hanging gardens, Coliseum in Rome?

But the biggest part is what I should use to build these.
What materials can I use to actually build a ziggurat. It can't be anything crappy! Google pictures of ziggurats, maybe you could help me figure out what to bulid it with?
