The social classes of the Sumerian people determined where you lived. More important people such as priest and government officials lived closer to the ziggurat (the temple of the Gods) while merchants and higher classed (wealthier usually) lived towards the middle. The slaves and people with similar classes lived farther from the ziggurat. All people were allowed to visit the ziggurat but only few were able to enter its top level.
