"The rise of ancient Mesopotamian civilization occurred at the end of the fourth millennium in southern Mesopotamia alongside the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, where the Sumerians created city states, each with its local god. In Uruk there were two main temples: one was for Anu, the god of heaven; the other was for Inanna, the mother
goddess of fertility, love and war. In addition, other deities were worshipped at other places - Enlil, lord of the atmosphere at Nippur; Utu, the sun god, at Larsa; Nanna, the moon god, at Ur.
Each of these gods had a family and servants who were also worshipped at various shrines. T h e temple itself was located on a high platform and housed in a holy room in which a statue of the
god was washed, dressed and fed each day. Through the centuries, Sumerian priests recounted stories about these gods, whose actions
were restricted to various spheres of influence. In addition, the Sumerian myths contain legends about creation: Enlil, for example, separated heaven from earth, and Enki created m a n to grow food for himself and the gods."
