Babylonian script: One people of Babylonia adopted the Sumerian alphabet. In this script, articles, symbols, signs, and pictures were used to record and obtain knowledge. When it was confirmed that such a sign or an image was realized in an object, it became easier to identify the objects. But when it came to expressing ideas, the script was not working. In this script, there were 300 sign symbols in the form of a clause. It was hard to remember. The art of calligraphy was given great respect. They used to write on plaques. The people here used to speak the Semetic language. The religious teachers used to perform the work of educating people.

Babylonian literature: The Babylonians created the world’s first classic by the name ‘Gilgamesh’. Its narrative is very interesting. Gilgamesh was the fifth ruler of the first dynasty of the state. The Babylonian people gave a new look to the stories of his courageous deeds, uniting them in one book. This epic is divided into 12 chapters, which is a symbol of 12 months. In the entire epic, the struggles of human life have been described lucidly.

Apart from the epic, religious and political literature was also created. The main topics of religious literature describe the prayers and praise of goddesses.
