Religion of Mesopotamia

The religion of Mesopotamia was polytheistic, meaning they worshipped many gods and goddesses, each representing natural forces or aspects of life, such as sky, water, fertility, and war. These deities were believed to control the world and human destiny. Temples, called ziggurats, served as religious centers and were dedicated to specific gods. Rituals, offerings, and prayers aimed to gain divine favor and ensure prosperity. Religion was integrated into everyday life, shaping laws and society. Mesopotamians viewed gods as powerful beings requiring reverence and proper rituals to maintain cosmic balance.
