Why ancient temples were built (Understanding the Bible)

NOTE: The Eanatum Inscription in this video is incorrect. It was actually from the Ennanatum inscription! (Those names are easily confused, but they were brothers who reigned in succession!) In this episode we look at the concept of temple-building after victory in battle and what it communicated in the ancient Near East.
