chapter #
It's a very advanced time in human history, people can now take a look into the past reliving the everyday moments and lives of great men and women through the music and art, religion and politics, natural disasters, the rise and fall of civilizations and so many untold stories hidden under every piece of pottery or detailed images carved on temples and tombs leaving us a glimpse into a world full of superstition, magical arts, extreme religions that are based on mythology, human savagery.
Such a world can be very confusing to wrap our minds around it much less trying to understand all of the belief systems and traditional views and sometimes connected worship of the same diety.
So ancient Mesopotamia many archeologists and historians have written about this, civilization and how its foundational structures became the basis for what we use in our cities and towns
From religious beliefs and practices, the way our governmental systems at work might be part of a larger group of universal customs that we practice as human beings who told us to build temples and worship at shrines do sacrifices and keep traditional festivals, who told us about a God or creator or the existence of evil or has man been both good and evil from the beginning.
Nothing is wrong with asking questions however who are the ones providing answers and how can we tell what is origin of such information.
Holy scriptures and fragmented manuscripts along hieroglyphics and bits of information presented by human experts seems to be our only links to a life of belief in trust in a higher world of existence and Divinity. religious beliefs and theory when systematically developed can be rightly viewed as a formal type of theology, but what about the cultural differences between tribesmen and women whose primary ways of living seem to never fit into the mold of our expectations and systems of belief.
As we journey through the vastly ever changing world around us we take pride in the differences between us unique and the same as one human family, from the dancing and singing, building the places of worship and sacrifices to the gods and goddesses, we even find tribes of humans who have no belief systems and it makes us wonder.
So we Ask questions that never get answered why are we here what is the purpose of this life, as we take a look at ancient Mesopotamia many archeologists and historians have written about the culturally advanced society that once lived there
