Best Answer

Sumerians settled in Mesopotamia around 3500 B.C.E. They are one of the earliest civilizations and had a Temple in the middle of their community called a "ziggurat" meaning "mountain of God." The temples were made up of square levels that had stairs up to the top. The Ziggurats were believed to be home to Chief Gods and only priest could enter the sacred areas. Sumerians saw all natural forces as being alive, such as air, earth, thunder, ect. There ere more than 3,000 gods and goddesses in the Sumerian belief system.
