Question

which of the following statements best summarizes the impact made on later civilizations by sumerian religious advancements? many worshipped one god from a great temple with rituals led by kings. many worshipped one god from their homes in rituals led by priests. many worshipped multiple gods from their homes in rituals led by family members. many worshipped multiple gods from a great temple with rituals led by priests.

Explanation:

Sumerian religion was polytheistic (worshipping multiple gods) and centered on large temple complexes (ziggurats). Rituals were overseen by priests, who held significant religious authority. Later civilizations in the region adopted or adapted this polytheistic, temple-based, priest-led religious structure. The other options are incorrect because they either reference monotheism (not Sumerian) or home-based/family-led rituals (not the dominant Sumerian practice that influenced later cultures).

Answer:

D. Many worshipped multiple gods from a great temple with rituals led by priests.
