Hurrian Religion

Hurrian religion was the spiritual belief system of the ancient Hurrians, a people who lived in the Near East around 2000–1200 BCE. It was polytheistic, worshipping a pantheon of gods and goddesses linked to natural elements and cosmic forces. Key deities included the storm god Teshub and the mother goddess Shaushka. Their religious practices involved rituals, offerings, and hymns, often performed in temples. Hurrian beliefs also influenced neighboring cultures, blending their gods and myths into broader regional traditions. Overall, Hurrian religion reflected their view of a universe governed by divine powers that required reverence and communication through dedicated ceremonies.
