Ancient Babylonian religion, originating in the region of Mesopotamia, was a complex and polytheistic belief system that profoundly influenced the cultures of the Near East.
At the heart of Babylonian religion was a rich pantheon of gods and goddesses, each associated with specific aspects of nature, celestial bodies, or human activities.
The Babylonians believed in a cosmology that divided the universe into three levels: the heavens, the earth, and the underworld.
In this worldview, the gods resided in the heavens, while humans inhabited the earth and the realm of the dead, ruled by the goddess Ereshkigal, lay beneath the earth's surface.
Mythology played a significant role in Babylonian religious thought, with epic tales like the Enuma Elish detailing the creation of the cosmos and the ascendance of Marduk as the supreme deity.
Religious practices such as prayers, sacrifices, and festivals were central to Babylonian worship, and priests served as intermediaries between the people and the divine.
