Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During the Sumerian Uruk Period (4100-2900 BCE) ziggurats were raised in every city in honor of that community’s patron deity. The ziggurat/temple was not a public house of worship, but the earthly home of the god of the city, who was attended by the high priest and lesser priests of the temple complex.
Detailed explanation-2: -Moving down the social ziggurat, we find the middle class. This was a widely ranging group of people. At one end of the class, you would find merchants whose wealth rivaled that of priests and successful generals. At the other end, you’d find modest artisans who scraped out a living little better than the lower class.
