How did Sumerian culture influence Babylon?

Question

I don't even know if I worded that question correctly. I'm really confused, so excuse me.

This isn't a homework question, although this DOES relate to my homework, this question is only for research purposes.

I have to write a five paragraph essay defining what the 5 traits of civilization are and applying them to 3 of 6 civilizations that they name.

I'm curious as to how much of Babylon (ia?) was influenced by Sumer, in terms of laws, etc.

Answer 1

There is an interesting book called The Penguin History of the World that you should check out, at the beginning it talks about just that.



Good Luck on your homework.
