Many had highly sophisticated [[Socioeconomic]] structures, with the worlds earliest examples of [[Written Law]], together with structurally advanced and complex [[Trade|trading]], [[business]] and [[taxation]] systems, a well structured [[Bureaucracy|civil administration]], [[currency]] and detailed [[record keeping]]. [[Schools]] and [[education]] existed in many states, [[Mesopotamian religion]] was highly organised, and [[astrology]] was practiced widely. By the time of the [[Middle Assyrian Empire]] in the mid 2nd millennium BC, early examples of [[zoology]], [[botany]] and [[landscaping]] had emerged, and during the [[Neo-Assyrian Empire]] in the early to mid 1st millennium BC, the worlds first [[library]] was built.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">All early Semites across the entire Near East appear to have originally been [[Polytheist]].

The influence of Mesopotamian religion can also be found in Armenian and [[Graeco-Roman religion]] and to some degree upon the later Semitic [[Monotheistic religion]]s of [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], [[Mandaeism]], [[Gnosticism]] and [[Islam]].</ins></div></td></tr> </table>
