CUNEIFORM means "Wedge-shaped" (from the Latin word for wedge, cuneus).
Cuneiform writing - wedge-shaped symbols made by making impressions in clay tablets and then baking the tablet like a brick - was invented by the Sumerians well over 4,000 years ago.
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.
