The Babylonians adopted several key elements from the Sumerians, most notably their writing system, cuneiform, which they adapted for their own language. They also inherited Sumerian religious practices and deities, integrating them into their own belief system. Additionally, the Babylonians adopted advancements in mathematics, including the base-60 numeral system, which influenced their astronomical calculations and timekeeping. Overall, the cultural and technological contributions of the Sumerians significantly shaped Babylonian civilization.

Mesopotamia, with the Ziggurat of Ur, also the Babylonians, Sumerians and Assyrians.
The Sumerians inhabited the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers where they established independent city-states as the centre of the agricultural areas. The Babylonians established their empire to absorbing these cities and their land. They also absorbed their religious structures and gods.
The Sumerians developed a large trade network in part because some of the resources their civilization required were not found in Mesopotamia. Wood is especially scarce in this region so lumber became one of the key trade items for the Sumerians. But most items the Sumerians traded for were those not available in Mesopotamia.
Before the Babylonians, the Sumerians were the dominant civilization in Mesopotamia. They are credited with many innovations, including the invention of cuneiform writing and significant advancements in agriculture and urban planning. The Sumerians established some of the world's first city-states, such as Ur and Uruk, which laid the groundwork for subsequent civilizations in the region. Their influence persisted even after the rise of the Babylonians.
