How were the polytheism and Ziggurats related in Sumerian civilization?
In Sumerian civilization, polytheism was intricately linked to the construction of ziggurats, which were massive stepped structures that served as temples dedicated to the gods. Each ziggurat was believed to be a bridge between the earth and the divine, where priests conducted rituals to appease the multitude of gods worshipped by the Sumerians. The ziggurats symbolized the city's religious devotion and were central to community life, reflecting the importance of polytheism in Sumerian culture and governance.
