Best Answer

Babylonian are mostly famous for their contribution in Maths, particularly Astronomy.

The first known records of using the number zero stems from the old day Babylon where they used a space or a dash to indicate the number zero.

The Babylonians created a numeral system based on the number "60". This helped us to derive the 360 degree system, and the 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour.

Other possible contribution are great pottery works, and many advanced steps into medicine.
