Abstract: Around the year 3000 BC in Mesopotamia, today’s Iraq, based on archaeological research, the earliest civilizations in the Middle East were founded. The Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians and the Israelites and other nations, later will appear on the map of history, being organized in small states. In fact, about five thousand years ago, from the turn of the fourth and third millennium BC, we can talk about the great early cultures and religions The legacy that the amazing Mesopotamian civilization left to mankind is undoubtedly invaluable. It was felt throughout the ages, helping, in some cases, modeling a new spirituality. It is believed that the Mesopotamian cultural elements made their way also in the Greek philosophical thinking, of Thales of Miletus, the young Aristotle and Zeno of Kition.
