They conquered the cities of Sumer, united them, and created Babylonia. The king of Babylonia (Hammurabi) conquered land all the way to Turkey (in his time, Turkey was known as Asia Minor). Because of Babylon's location, caravans, or groups of travelers, kept on traveling to and from cities of Sumer. People bought supplies, such as cotton cloth and spices, from bazaars, or markets. Hammurabi also conquered the city of Mari, and took all their chariots, weapons, and tools. Babylonia invented the pottery wheel, basic math, agriculture, sculpture making, and were the first to begin studying astronomy.

This is where the word holiday if derived i dont know if they can pinpoint the first civilization the started this.
