During the Mesopotamia era, there was a group known as the
Sumerians. These people lived in Mesopotamia from 2900-1000BC. There were one of the
most diverse groups of people living in the valley beween the Tigris and Euphrates
Rivers. There were a very intelligent group of people studying astrology, religion,
science, mathematics, etc.
The religion of the Sumerians
was polytheistic and they spent a great deal of time learning about their gods. These
gods were very powerful and resembled humans. They were also known as creator gods,
meaning they had created the world and the people that inhabited it. They believed that
there were no punishments or rewards for human beings after death. They believed that
they became "wisps of the earth" and eventually fade into nothing as time went on.
Unfortunately there was little hope for Sumerians.
