Mesopotamians used to worship multiple deities as their god and goddesses. Some of them are very similar with the Vedic civilisation. Even it can be said that when the Mesopotamian- Sumerian people departed from their motherland Aryavarta , they carried with them Vedic god and godesses (Devata). They had a sense of Supreme Deity in the line of Brahman also a chief deity like Vedic Indra. Gradually with the passing of time their god and goddesses evolved as per local ethos and political regimes.
