The Mesopotamians made many technological discoveries. They were the first to use the potter's wheel to make better pottery, they used irrigation to get water to their crops, they used bronze metal (and later iron metal) to make strong tools and weapons, and used looms to weave cloth from wool.
More Religous
One of the most effective ways to revive a religion is to integrate it in our culture. For example not all middle easterners are Muslims but many of them partake in Muslim traditions. Another is how not all Americans are Christian, but many none Christian still partake in Christmas. It's integrated in our culture as a part of tradition.
