Sumerian Religion Explained: The Oldest Recorded Belief System in Human History

Long before Egypt, Greece, or Rome rose to power, the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia built the world’s earliest recorded religion. In this episode, we journey back over 5,000 years to explore the gods, temples, myths, and spiritual worldview of this civilization from the cradle of civilization.

The Sumerians believed that humans were created to serve the gods and that order, balance, and divine justice maintained the universe. Their religion shaped legal codes, calendars, temple life, and the foundations of many later Middle Eastern faiths. From the mighty ziggurats of Ur to the mystical descent of Inanna, the Sumerian religious imagination was vast, structured, and profoundly influential.

🔱 Major Deities:

Anu – Supreme god of the sky

Enlil – God of air, storms, and kingship

Enki – God of water, wisdom, and creation

Inanna – Goddess of love, fertility, and war

Utu – Sun god and judge of truth

Nanna – Moon god and patron of Ur

Ninhursag – Mother goddess and giver of life

🏛️ Beliefs & Practices:

Ritual offerings to maintain divine order

Creation of humans from clay to serve the gods
