These stories that describe how the sumerians thought the world worked are now what we call myths. Even though myths aren't true, they can tell us about what the world was like in ancient civilizations
Sumerians carved words on stone tablets, and some of those tablets are still around today. A few of these carvings are stories that tell us what the sumerians believed in. They lived in a world where nature was everywhere, and they were at the mercy of it.
