Which beliefs did the summerians hold?

The Summerians believed that the powerful gods controlled everything. The rise and complete development of Summerian civilization took place in the valley of 'Tigris-Euphrates' rivers. In ancient times it is called Mesopotamia, which is today's 'modern Iraq'.

Sumerians built temples at high places. Temples were the center of social life apart from religious functions. The deities that they were worshiped in these temples were the first folk deities.

The area of influence of the gods was local. In this way every city had different gods. The inhabitants of Sumerians were worshipers of polytheism.

in 476 c.e. romulus, the last of the roman emperors in the west, was overthrown by the germanic leader odoacer, who became the first barbarian to rule in rome. the order that the roman empire had brought to western europe for 1000 years was no more.
