The Sumerians did not create the seven-day week; this concept is believed to have originated with the ancient Babylonians, who adopted a seven-day cycle based on lunar phases. The Sumerians had a different system of timekeeping, using a base-60 numerical system that influenced later cultures. The seven-day week gained prominence in various societies, including the Jewish tradition, and eventually spread widely, particularly through Roman and later Christian practices. Thus, while the Sumerians contributed significantly to early civilization, they were not the originators of the seven-day week.
The Chaldeans, an ancient civilization in Mesopotamia, are often credited with developing the concept of a seven-day week. They based this system on lunar phases, dividing the month into four weeks of seven days each. This idea influenced later cultures, including the Babylonians and, eventually, the Jewish and Christian traditions, which adopted the seven-day week. However, it is important to note that other ancient civilizations also had their own methods of timekeeping, so the origins of the seven-day week are not exclusively attributed to the Chaldeans.
