Even today, astronomical periods identified by Mesopotamian scientists are still widely used in Western calendars: the solar year, the lunar month, the seven-day week. Using these data they developed arithmetical methods to compute the changing length of daylight in the course of the year and to predict the appearances and disappearances of the Moon and planets and eclipses of the Sun and Moon.

Cuneiform, the universal written language in Ancient Mesopotamia.

Sumerian cuneiform, one of the earliest known writing system. Its origins can be traced back to about 8,000 BC. It developed from the pictographs and other symbols used to represent trade goods and livestock on clay tablets. Sumerian was spoken in Sumer in southern Mesopotamia from perhaps the 4th millennium BC until about 2,000 BC, when it was replaced by Akkadian as a spoken language. Sumerian is not related to any other known language so is classified as a language isolate. Mesopotamia Art

Babylonians had an advanced number positional number system with base 60 rather than the base 10 of our present system. Now 10 has only two proper divisors, 2 and 5. However 60 has 10 proper divisors so many more numbers have a finite form. For mathematical and arithmetical purposes they used the Sumerian sexagesimal system of numbers, which featured a useful device of so-called place-value notation that resembles the present-day decimal system.

Gilgamesh - When we think about short stories with moral lessons we usually think about Aesop’s fables which were developed around 600 BCE. However, around 800 BCE Homer was authoring Iliad and the odyssey. Still further back in time we have the oldest recorded stories of any language with Gilgamesh from the Samarian people of modern day Iraq. The Gilgamesh epic is believed to possibly have roots as far back as 3,000 BCE. Stories With Moral Lessons, Short Moral Stories, Cradle Of Civilization
