What did Mesopotamia's believed in after life?

The Mesopotamian, particularly the Sumerian, had a unique view on death and the afterlife. The Mesopotamians, in contrast to their Egyptian neighbours, believed that when they died, they were transformed to a cave with no openings isolated from the entire world. There was nothing to do, people just sat there doing nothing in all eternity. You may now be asking yourself, how could the Mesopotamians look positive to such a life in an isolated cave doing nothing in all eternity? A simple view of the Mesopotamian life indicates why they felt positive about such an afterlife. Mesopotamia was a fertile region that attracted many great Kingdoms, thus it was constantly under attack. Besides people of Mesopotamia had to perform great tasks every day ranging from every day work such as farming, trading, cooking to greater jobs such as building palaces and temples for their gods. The Mesopotamians saw the afterlife as a resting place where they would sit in all eternity doing nothing and forgetting about the work and the wars that pervaded their everyday life.
