Sumer

Sumerian Priests were always in the 1st or highest social class making them very rich and wealthy. Priests had the role of communicating to the gods and bringing them the offerings of sumerian citizens.

The category of African indigenous religion refers to cultural, religious or spiritual manifestations indigeneous to the continent of Africa. There are arguably several religions in this category. Traditional African religions involve teachings, practices, and rituals that lend structure to the African native societies. Traditional African societies reflect local conceptions of God, the Gods (if the cultures are polytheistic or henotheistic), and the cosmos. Even within single communities there may be slightly different perceptions. African traditionalists almost always acknowledge the existence of a high God or demiurge who created the universe (Shango, Olorun, etc.) Many traditional African stories speak of how God or God's son once lived among the people, but as humans did something to give offense to God, God withdrew to the heavens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_traditional_religion

Decent. Quite different from those of Winter, anyway.

The name Sumerian {or Shinar about 6,000 years ago} is a name of a land in the Chaldees. It was populated with the Chaldeans, as seen in history and maps. This Samara Culture was of the 32,000 yr. Aurignacian Culture seen first in northwestern France. The people were of the ancient 14,000-8,000 yr. At'lan Culture of Brittani. The 35,000 years of Basque history tells this area was of the Atlantiques' Maritime villages. This is the connection of the ancient northwestern France of the Aquilonians-Celts with the Chaldeans of Sumer.

Their trade settlements were next to rivers and seas for World Shipping of produce, merchandise, and live stock. Their factories of merchandise and Agricultural land use river water for their production, especially for watering their agricultural land. Their 32,000 year Aurignacian Culture found in northwestern France was as the 'Mu' World Trade Shippers found mainly in the Americas (predominantly in Central America). This World Trade shipping Empire can be seen to have developed into the Atlan Culture found in Balivia, South America. This Atlan shippers were called by the ancient Basque as "Atlantiques" as their maritime villages along northwestern France. Anthropology claims their existence as the 14,000 - 8,000 yr Atilan Culture. This Culture showed a 8,000 yr writing. Their also was found an 8,000 yr goddess named Cybele. These gods can be found in the ancient Sumerian clay Tablets.

These findings can show that the 32,000 yr Aurignacian Culture was a parent culture of civilizations that became known as the 5th millennium Sumerian/ Samara Culture that founded the river valleys of the Fertile Crescent between the Euphrates and Tigris. They used the rivers by digging canals from these rivers to water their GARDENS. It included the (Torah-Bible Genesis 2)Gihon River=Nile River from Ethiopia and Pison River (see Pishon village) of the Indus River Valley/Pakistan-India. These are the Fertile valleys of the Sumerian trade Empire after about 2800 BC.

It means "great king" in Sumerian, a civilization in Mesopotamia 3,500BCE.

In a number of the Sumerian City-States, the priests wielded direct political power. This would make them theocracies.

The Sumerian civilization developed in the area now known as Iraq.

The Sumerians gave us food and writing.

Demons or vampires most say........but the fact that they come in a "boat" to get Dumuzi (Inanna's husband) seems a little weird.They come to bind his hands and neck....like some sea-faring enemy?

Tammuz and his galla are part of Sumerian/Babylonian mythology, but had become popular throughout the Middle East in the 6th and 5th centuries BCE.

He helped them

Yes they will

Sumerian city-states were governed by a king and his council.

Their religion was polytheism - a god for each major function in life and living, to whom they gave offerings and hoped for protection and benefits in return.

They were vulnerable to attack

zigurrat

yes

This mainly had to do with the invention of irrigation systems.

The Sumerians identified the forces of nature with individual gods as a way to explain and understand the unpredictable and often harsh elements of their environment, such as floods, droughts, and storms. This anthropomorphism allowed them to attribute human-like qualities and intentions to these forces, fostering a sense of connection and control over their surroundings. By worshiping specific deities associated with nature, they sought to gain favor and protection, ensuring agricultural success and community well-being. This belief system also helped to unify their society through shared rituals and practices centered around these gods.

Yes.

It was called cuneiform.

Sumerian legacies are known to the world today because scribes-(people who wrote things down) kept accurate records
