The Sumerians' Religion
The Sumerians did not have a direct religion, but like the Egyptians, had many gods and goddesses.
There were gods and goddesses of elements, such as the god of water, there were gods and goddesses of objects, and patron gods and goddesses of a certain city.
Each city-state had a god or goddess. They worshipped mainly that one, but also other gods of important things.
One thing that shows definitely how important religion was is the ranking of people—the high priest was, along with the ruler, the highest ranking man in the city
