Sumerian civilization used temples to maintain royal power!

The Mesopotamian civilization was born in the West Asia region. The core area was formed by the alluvial deposits of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. It was called "Mesopotamia" in Greek. Around 3500 BC, the world's earliest urban civilization, the Sumerian civilization, emerged. Building temples for gods is a tradition in the Mesopotamian region, and temples are the core of Sumerian society. The "Eye Temple" discovered at the site of Brak in Syria unearthed many sculptures with protruding eyes. The worship of the mother goddess is a worship of reproductive ability, which is connected with the harvest and the cycle of life and death, expressing the worship of the earth and resurrection from the dead. The worship of cattle symbolizes the control of the land and is a symbol of royal power and power. Around 3200 BC, cuneiform was born. Its content is mostly economic accounts of the exchange of goods, or political, legal and other documents. It is usually recorded on a clay board, then wrapped with clay, and sealed with a seal on the outside.
