each of whom ruled one or more human activities or
as aspects of nature e.g. sun, rain.
They believe that everything in life is controlled by
the gods, they bring good things, such as rain to
make the crops grow, but also bad things like
disease, drought and bad luck.

gods should be acknowledged and thanks
given to them, so as to avoid the catastrophes
that their rage could cause.

statues were built, and sacrifices performed
as gifts to the gods
