Abstract:
The ancient Iraqis were known of being involved in religion and ritualism and of showing adorableness to their idols. They worshipped some phenomenon that affected them before. In addition, they found a public place in which those rituals were practiced collectively, and thus the temple was the most and the largest building in the city.Accordingly, the temple had a significant role in the sense that it had read impacts on general politics as well as on general aspects of the life of ancient Iraqis. Furthermore, many subjects had been discussed in that sacred place. Many activities which were related to the people at that time had been achieved in the temple. Armies set off from there, it drew the borders with neighbor states during war and peace periods or in certain agreements.Economically, the temple was the place from which people borrow money and do certain transactions. It also played a decisive role in education in that many schools were associated with it which helped students to get careers in various aspects of knowledge, like medicine, astronomy, ….etc.Eventually, the present study aims to shed light on the significance of the temple in ancient Iraq from 2371 B.C. to 539 B.C. which represented the period from the Akkadian era till the fall of Babylon. In that specific period, the role of the temple ranges between power and weakness especially in its political role and how it affected in decision making.The study excluded the architectural aspects as well as the religious one since they have dealt with many studies before.
