Assyrians, Phoenicians, Babylonians, and Sumerians were distinct ancient civilizations in the Near East. The Assyrians were known for their powerful military and extensive empire, centered in northern Mesopotamia. The Phoenicians, from the coastal region of modern Lebanon, were renowned for their maritime trade and the development of the alphabet. The Babylonians, based in southern Mesopotamia, are famous for their contributions to law and literature, including the Code of Hammurabi, while the Sumerians, one of the earliest civilizations, are credited with pioneering writing, urbanization, and various technological advancements in southern Mesopotamia.
They were a militaristic society.
The Phoenicians improved upon the Sumerian invention by when the Sumerians invented the first writing system (symbols and cuneiform) the Phoenicians invented the alphabet which was easier.
The Phoenicians developed their writing system from the Sumerian writing system in 1400 BCE, so their writing system came after the Sumerian one.
