It's not known for certain if there were monotheisms before the Hebrews, but you can certainly say that the Hebrews took the concept of Monolatry and developed it into ethical monotheism.
The ancient culture known for the concept of monotheism is the Hebrews, particularly as represented in ancient Israelite religion. They worshipped one God, Yahweh, and this belief is foundational to Judaism. This monotheistic tradition significantly influenced subsequent Abrahamic religions, including Christianity and Islam. The shift from polytheism to monotheism was a defining characteristic of their cultural and religious identity.
The Fertile Crescent was home to several ancient groups of tribes, primarily including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians in Mesopotamia, as well as the Canaanites, Phoenicians, and Hebrews in the Levant region. These tribes contributed to early civilization through advancements in agriculture, writing, and trade. The region's rich soil and favorable climate facilitated the development of complex societies and urban centers.
