The early people of Mesopotamia were polytheistic (had many gods).
Both the Sumerians and Akkadians believed in hundreds of gods and demons that controlled various aspects of the natural world.
There were no real established religions when Mesopotamia was founded. The Sumerians had various gods for each city-state, and large temples called ziggurats. There were also smaller temples for offerings by the people. Some of the Sumerian gods were Anu (heaven), Ki (earth), Enki (wisdom), Enlil (lord of air), Inanna (goddess of love and war), Utu (a sun god), and Nanna (a moon god). The Akkadians (c. 2400 BC) had many similar gods under different names.
The Mesopotamians believed in many gods. Every city had its own special god. They worshipped the forces of nature like the sun, rain, moon and stars. The king was the chief priest and the representative of God on earth. In later years, the king appointed priests to look after the temple or the ziggurat. The priests occupied a very important position in society. The Mesopotamians may have believed in life after death. Drinking vessels, ornaments, weapons, etc., have been found in some graves.
There was a brick building at the heart of the city, it was a ziggurat which was the site of the temple to the main god or goddess of the city.

Ancient Mesopotamians did not have a term for what we would call "polytheism" since everyone was polytheist at that time. The Mesopotamians had no concept of monotheism, atheism, or henotheism with which to contrast their belief. They could recognize that some people prayed to foreign gods, but did not consider those beliefs to be a unique religion.
