Mesopotamians, who sets the tone in the prehistoric civilization
dwindled age when the Iron Age began.
The Mesopotamian civilization or Babylonian had also remarkable achievements.
They precise astronomical observations and measurements of
cosmic phenomena in order to formulate scientific laws and
anticipate events such as eclipses. They made observations
of the sun, the earth and other planets in relation to the
fixed part of the constellations. They, infact, had a design
for the Zodiac. They have attempted to develop theories about
the solstices and equinoxes and calculated the length of days
and nights in different seasons. Herodotus attributed to the
Babylonians, inventions of astronomical instruments, which
were later used by the Greeks. Apart from these achievements,
they knew the Pythagorean Theorem and would solve mathematical
equations with two unknowns. They also know the surgery and
had fairly detailed knowledge of anatomy.

Where Greeks were almost as Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations,
which excels in scientific and technological achievements. The
Greeks did not have right now as much as secondary civilizations
such as Crete and Anatolia. The Greeks did not appear in the

peasant communities. But they came into contact with Egypt and
Babylon. They borrowed the second scientific and technological

The Greeks were highly successful through their state favorable
to the advent of a new revolution in the thinking that gave
rise to natural philosophy in the west.

is in the country Greeks that science has acquired a new character.
He became an autonomous body of knowledge and tried to explain
the nature in non animists. They tried to explain the ultimate
nature in terms of principles. This explains the great contribution
of Greek science. (480-380 BC) and (3) Hellenistic (330-200
BC) the final phase ended with the collapse of the Greek states
