Question

A key difference between Egyptian and Sumerian religions revolved around _________________________.

• A. A tendency to believe in many gods
• B. Afterlife beliefs
• C. The belief that gods controlled natural forces
• D. The role of priests in society
• E. The importance of honoring the gods

Answer 1

The correct option is B Afterlife beliefs

Mesopotamian people didn't believed in afterlife. Although the dead were buried in ancient Mesopotamia, there was no attempt to preserve them as was seen in the case of the Egyptians who went on to give elaborate burials to their loved ones so that they are happy in the afterlife and will ensure the happiness of the living.
