What was ancient Mesopotamian theology?
Mesopotamian religion was polytheistic, worshipping over 2,100 different deities, many of which were associated with a specific state within Mesopotamia, such as Sumer, Akkad, Assyria or Babylonia, or a specific Mesopotamian city, such as; (Ashur), Nineveh, Ur, Nippur, Arbela, Harran, Uruk, Ebla, Kish, Eridu, Isin,
What did ancient Mesopotamians believe about their gods?
Possessing powers greater than that of humans, many gods were associated with astral phenomena such as the sun, moon, and stars, others with the forces of nature such as winds and fresh and ocean waters, yet others with real animals—lions, bulls, wild oxen—and imagined creatures such as fire-spitting dragons.
What was the philosophy of the Mesopotamians?
Religion and philosophy
Mesopotamians believed that the world was a flat disc, surrounded by a huge, holed space, and above that, heaven.
They also believed that water was everywhere, the top, bottom and sides, and that the universe was born from this enormous sea.
In addition, Mesopotamian religion was polytheistic.- The adoption of the crown prince by a god is often part of the coronation ritual, especially in Mesopotamia: the god declares the king as his son when he ascends the throne.
An especially frequent expression of the relationship of the king to divinity in Egypt and Mesopotamia was that of the king as a god's image.
