It is thought that anything early man could not explain, was assigned to gods. In some societies , sacrifice (human or animal) was used to placate the gods and avert natural disasters, or ensure a good food crop next season.

The first civilization to have a recorded religious system was ancient Mesopotamia, where the Sumerians practiced a polytheistic religion. Their beliefs included gods and goddesses who controlled natural phenomena and aspects of daily life. The Sumerians built temples called ziggurats to honor their deities and performed rituals and sacrifices to gain favor with them.
