The kingdom of Sumer was an advanced civilization in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) reaching a golden age around 4500 BC. The people in the ‘land of civilized kings’ invented an elaborate language with writing, had access to advanced architecture, astronomy and mathematics, and were ardent artists.
The Sumerian religious cosmology featured hundreds of gods and a comprehensive belief system. According to their historical texts, humans and gods once lived together, although humans were servants to the gods. In addition, each city had its own guardian god.
