Babylonia influenced Mesopotamia but also has a heavy impact today. The myths and legends of Babylon and its hanging gardens inspired poets, authors and artists. They also influenced the time because they had a mathematical from based on 60, like we have one based off of 10. They gave us 60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute, and 360 degrees in a circle. Their astronomy also allowed them to create an accurate calendar. Babylon is also very important to the Christian and Jewish religions. This is because it is in the Old testament and in the Torah. In the old testament, the book of Genesis talks about the Tower of Babel and how people now have different languages.
The tales and stories of Babylon have inspired and awed people for centuries.
