That is false. Sumerians were not monotheists, and they may have built their tall structures, known as ziggurats, to get closer to their god.

This statement is false.
The second part of the sentence is actually correct - the one describing what ziggurats are. However, the first part is incorrect - Sumerians were not monotheists. Monotheists believe in one god - for example, Christianity is a monotheistic religion. But Sumerians were polytheists - this means that they believed in many gods, such as Enlil, Enki, Nergal, etc.
