Did the Sumerians believe that priests represented the gods?

no, but they believed hat they were closer to the gods so some of the time they would make priests write letters to the gods. Like in Ancient China, writings were important because the priests wrote letters to the gods, getting this idea from the Sumerians. Also, priests in Ancient China also used oracle bone. Some people say that oracle bones were from Ancient Sumer and they traded them with china.
