The transfer of power from priests to military commanders in Sumer was largely driven by the need for stronger defense against external threats and internal conflict. As city-states faced invasions and competition from neighboring regions, military leaders emerged as crucial figures capable of organizing and leading defenses. Additionally, the increasing complexity of governance and the need for more centralized authority in times of crisis made military prowess an attractive quality for leadership. This shift marked a transition from theocratic rule to a more militaristic and secular form of governance.
