The gods of Mesopotamia are first evidenced during the Ubaid Period (c. 5000-4100 BCE) when temples were raised to them, but their worship developed during the Uruk Period (4100-2900 BCE) and their names appear in writing beginning in the Early Dynastic Period (2900-2334 BCE) in Sumer alongside the development of the ziggurat. #History #Utu-Shamash #Pazuzu #Ninurta #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/collection/196/mesopotamian-gods/
