religion we see in modern day time was started in ancient civilizations. Though some
practices have been changed throughout centuries, religion of all types still has the same
base.

universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or
agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a
moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

Religion is Mesopotamia has been forgotten over time. But historians have figured out
that religion in Mesopotamia influenced many major religions such as Christianity and
Islam.

named Tiamat. Marduk then used half of Tiamat’s body to form earth and the other half to
form paradise(heaven) and nether(hell).

5. EGYPT
Egyptian religion is based on a creation myth that tells of an egg that appeared on the
ocean. When the egg hatched, out came Ra, god of the sun. As a result, ancient
Egyptians became worshippers of the sun and of the nine original deities, most of whom
were the children and grandchildren of Ra.
