Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Kassite deities were the pantheon of the Kassites (Akkadian: Kaššû, from Kassite Galzu[1]), a group inhabiting parts of modern Iraq (mostly historical Babylonia and the Nuzi area), as well as Iran and Syria, in the second and first millennia BCE.[2] A dynasty of Kassite origin ruled Babylonia starting with the fifteenth century BCE.[3] Kassites spoke the Kassite language, known from references in Mesopotamian sources.[4] Many of the known Kassite words are names of Kassite deities.[4] Around twenty have been identified so far.[5] The evidence of their cult is limited,[6] and only two of them, Šuqamuna and Šumaliya, are known to have had a temple.[4] Other well attested Kassite deities include the presumed head god Ḫarbe, the weather god Buriaš, the sun god Saḫ and the deified mountain Kamulla.
