Best Answer

The ancient Mesopotamians left behind a huge legacy that helped to shape the current world today. Whether it was religion, mathematics, or technology, much of what we have is a product of their discoveries from so long ago.

They were the first to invent a writing system in the West and used it in accountancy and to record their religious thought. In their writings of religion, we got the story of the flood, of creation and the story of Cain and Able. They also had a story about the Tower of Babel that shows up in the Hebrew Bible. They gave us the idea that we as humans are created beings, placed on the earth by a divine being, also that there were winged angels and an afterlife. In science and technology, the wheel, plow and phonetic alphabet were invented. In mathematics we got the hour divided into 60 minutes and a circle divided into 360 degrees.
