Ancient Mesopotamia centered on the ancient kingdom of Babylon and consisted, politically, of a series of city-states. Notable among them were Lagash, Akkad, Erech and Ur. It later flourished again under the Assyrians. The religion of the entire Tigris-Euphrates valley really was one religions, but it consisted of local gods. Dominant gods were determined by dominant cities. For example, when Babylon achieved dominance, Marduk, otherwise known as Bel or Baal, was regarded as king of the gods. The priests were very powerful. The mythology of Babylon was elaborated by the Assyrians and preserved in handwriting on cuneiform tablets. it included stories about a great flood covering the whole world and the story of Ishtar going to the underworld. 
Babylonian religion was strongly influenced by the Sumerian culture, which placed a lot of emphasis on high towers and was believed to have worshiped high places.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Greek and Roman are bedrock of the classical culture of Western civilization.

From Greece we inherited a political system and governing model called democracy which flourished in Athens many centuries before our era. The great Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle left us their thinking and philosophy that are the first major works on society and politics, ethics, morality, government. Greek mythology, adopted by the Romans, provided stories and enduring symbols in Western cultures, as well as magnificent inspiration for some of the best Western art and literature. Greek comedy and tragedy are the first major heights of world theater, and Homer gave us the Iliad and the Odyssey. Greek and Roman architecture still serve as models for many of our modern buildings. Thanks to Herodotus, the first world historian, we know about the Medic Wars and the conquests of Alexander the Great.

Rome inherited us also great thinkers, writers, speakers, the art of oratory. From Roman governing system, we have inherited an institution that still exists today in modern democracies: the Senate. Latin , the Roman people´s language, was adopted as the official language of the Catholic Church and of scholars for many centuries; it is the mother of contemporary Romanic languages such as French, Italian and Spanish.
