Evidence I can use to soupourt this claim is "Mesopotamia was polytheistic, which means people worshiped many deities, not just one.

This is impacting them because they used religion/ gods to explain different things like why the sun comes up at night and why the rain falls and why the floods come. Without this sense they would have gone crazy without an explanation for the world and would not have done some of the things they did without it.

To understand how religion developed, we must first consider the history of written language. The Sumerian civilization was the first to create written records, around 3300 BCE. Religious beliefs and practices. To write, a person would carve lines and triangles, which we now call cuneiform, onto a wet clay tablet. Once it dried and hardened, it could last for a long time, religion was around long before people started writing
