After going to the Ziggurat, I found out people who are polytheistic believe that there are many gods in this world. They believe that everything that happens in this world is because of their gods. They also worship statues, as if they can respond to their prayers like a real god would. They give their statues offerings, gifts and they pray to them. They do this because they believe that if they don't do this, it will get their gods mad, and that is how disasters start. These could include natural disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, or earthquakes, or other conditions, such as sickness and death. Mesopotamians would also build buildings to keep their gods happy. I have found out so much about the polytheistic belief system and have enjoyed it so much. I hope to learn more at the festival.
