For religious affairs and ceremonies.

Answer 2:

Many early religions felt that high places, especially mountain tops, were sacred and, perhaps, homes of the gods. This is evident in some Bible passages; also, Mt Olympus was the home of many of the Greek gods. The early cities in Mesopotamia were built in the river valleys; perhaps it became inconvenient to go traipsing off to the mountains for all the religious festivals. If the people could not go to the mountain, the mountain had to come to the people.
