How did the sumerians say the gods descended to earth?

The Sumerians believed that the gods descended to Earth from the heavens, often depicted as coming down from the cosmic mountain, which was thought to be the dwelling place of the divine. They portrayed this descent in myths and legends, emphasizing the gods' direct involvement in human affairs and their role as creators and protectors of civilization. Temples, known as ziggurats, were built as earthly homes for the gods, symbolizing this connection between the divine and the terrestrial.
