Gods of Sumer

The gods of Sumer were divine beings worshipped by one of the world's earliest civilizations, located in ancient Mesopotamia. Each god represented natural forces or societal concepts, such as Anu (sky), Enlil (air and storms), Inanna (love and fertility), and Enki (wisdom and water). These deities were seen as powerful entities influencing daily life, nature, and destiny. Sumerians built temples and rituals to honor them, believing in their active presence and favor. Their gods reflect the values, environment, and social structure of Sumerian society, offering insight into their worldview and religious practices.
