Title: Mesopotamian Gods

Mesopotamian Gods
  • There were hundreds of gods who were responsible
    for everything in the world, from rivers and
    trees to making bread and pottery.
  • Each city was protected by its own special god or
    goddess and their family. Large temples were
    built in the centre of the city for these gods to
    live in. Priests looked after the gods with
    special rituals. There were also smaller temples
    throughout the city where ordinary people could
    make offerings.
