    True

    The king was believed to descend directly from the gods, an there was no distinction between the human and divine for what the king was assumed to have direct contact with the gods.

    The deification of kings was accompanied by significant groups of the priestess that served the king for legitimating its authority and passing it for its offspring into the next generations.

    The Kings of Ur proclaimed a divine right to rule and expand its borders as longs as 3000 BC

    Deities in Sumeria included An, god of heavens, Enlil god of wind and storm, Enki, for ruling over culture and water.

    The Sumerian king was the head of the religious body that worshiped the mentioned gods and employed priests to perpetuate its domain to the territories located among the Ur.
