Unpredictable flooding in Mesopotamia deeply affected the perception of gods in the region because it challenged their control over nature and societal stability. The annual floods from rivers like the Tigris and Euphrates were essential for agriculture, but their erratic nature could lead to devastating consequences, such as crop destruction and loss of life. As a result, the Mesopotamians often viewed their gods as capricious and demanding, leading to rituals and offerings aimed at appeasing them to ensure favorable conditions. This unpredictability reinforced the belief that divine favor was crucial for survival in an environment heavily reliant on seasonal cycles.
