Today in class I learned Sumerian gods were represented in nature like on buildings and famous monuments. A test question is that Sumer is the first surviving epic. Sumerians divided the hour into sixty minutes, minute into sixty seconds and made the calendar based of the moon cycle. The Ziggurat was a Sumerian Temple built on top of a hill or the highest point in the area/ town. Sumer was counquered by Akkandians in 2350 BC and there gods took the place of previous gods and all were forced to worship. Lastly King Hammurabi created the Hammurabi Code which included the saying an eye for an eye. But the laws he made up were mostly very harsh and a lot of peoples limbs would be taken of in some of the laws.
