At the beginning of this period, they worshiped at open-air sites, where they built high places (bamot) and erected standing stones (massachusetts). Later, they began to construct temples of various types. The most common type of temple was a large, symmetrical, free-standing building constructed in the center of an open area. At a back of the main room, the temple represented the presence of the god in the temple, his earthly dwelling. The Canaanites worshipped many gods, who were responsible for all aspects of life and the forces of nature. At their head of the pantheon, the chief god, however, was the storm god, Baal, responsible for fertility and growth. The main goddesses were Anat and Astarte, symbols of beauty, fertility, and war.
