How were polytheism and ziggurats related in sumarian civilization?

Polytheism in Sumerian civilization involved the belief in multiple gods who were each associated with different aspects of life. Ziggurats were massive stepped temples built to honor these gods and serve as a physical link between the earthly realm and the divine realm. The ziggurats were believed to be dwelling places for the gods and served as elevated platforms for rituals and ceremonies dedicated to the deities.
