Answer: Babylonians came after Akkadians and Sumerians so it is important to bear this in mind because many of their skills were inherited from previous cultures and some of these skills can be viewed as an extension of Sumerian and Akkadian culture/civilization (Sumerian language continued being language of liturgy, some old Sumerian religious cults were still there, Sumerian mythology was still present, astronomy and mathematics and cuneiform characters were inherited). Day divided in 24 hours is a Babylonian invention, circle divided in 360 degrees is also Babylonian invention, capacity to predict lunar eclipse and discovery of lunation (and their symbolic interpretation) is a Babylonian invention. Big part of all that was acquired/inherited by old Greek thinkers (Thales for example).

Explanation: There is no doubt that astronomy/astrology is of Sumerian/Babylonian origin and this knowledge was spread in Middle East and later it came to Greece. Egyptian and Greek (and later western) astrology was influenced by Babylonian astrology. Many predictive techniques and divinations we can found among Egyptians and Greek were of Babylonian origin (study of planetary secondary progressions, eclipses etc.).

What was one of President Wilson’s Fourteen Points?
marysya [2.9K]
<span>The correct answer is A:establishing a League of Nations. Wilson hoped that such an organization would foster communication and cooperation between nations so that they could exchange ideas more openly and lessen the idea that other nations were secretly plotting against each other. The disaster of World War I was caused in great part by a serious lack of trust and communication between the nations of Europe at that time. Wilson hoped that a League of Nations would prevent such a tragedy from happening again and included this idea in his Fourteen Points at the conclusion of the war.</span>
