Good harvests depend on good weather. Early farmers, such as the SUmerians, who lived 7, 000 years ago, thought gods ruled the weather. There gods were worshipped with prayers and sacrifices. People today still pray for fine weather and for a good harvest.

Rainbow God

The Kabi people from Queensland in Australia worship a god called Dhakhan who is half fish and half snake. Dhakhan lives in deep water holes in the ground. He appears as a rainbow in the sky when he moves from one hole to the next.

Dragon Breath

The Chinese believed that dragons formed clouds with their breath and brought rain. The rain fell when the dragons walked over the clouds and storms raged when the fought with each other.

Dancing in the Rain

The Hopi Indians of North America perform special rain dances like the buffalo and snake dances. As they dance they pray to the gods to send them rain.
