what was the political life of Mesopotamian Civilization
Answers
Religion was often one aspect that forged a common bond among the members of a Mesopotamian city-state. Naturally, religion became closely linked with politics. Religious beliefs, however, could vary between city-states. Some gods, with similar aspects and descriptions, may have been worshiped under a different name in more than one region. For example, Anu, mentioned previously as the father of the gods, was known by this same name in some of the larger city-states: Akkad, Babylon and Assyria. A god with similar attributes was known in Sumer (another major city-state) as An.Because the Mesopotamians believed the gods controlled the precarious weather, a social class developed around the priests. Priests were given the task of creating rituals to honor the patron deity of their city-state. Priests gained power because everything belonged to the gods. They made decisions regarding land, commercial trade, agricultural development and even war. They gained wealth from the contributions of the people to the gods. They also commissioned the building of ziggurats. Ziggurats were large structures with varying levels. Their main purpose was likely as a dwelling place for the local deity. They were located in the city's center as a place of commerce.
