Explanation: One of the achievements of ancient civilizations is certainly the democracy of ancient Greece. Although this democracy was different from the one we know, it had a crucial influence on the development of modern democracy. Also Roman law is an integral part of the legal system today.
Going even deeper into the beginnings of civilization, the emergence of a writing system dating back to the Sumerian civilization is inevitable. The significance of this writing system is that it has been simplified for trade purposes, a well-known cuneiform, and has provided guidelines for the development of writing. It also influenced the appearance of all simple alphabets, from Phoenician, Greek, Jewish, whose basics are still used today.
In all of this, the overlapping and mutual influences of ancient civilizations and cultures must be borne in mind. It is known that all ancient civilizations from Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Indian, Egyptian, Persian, Greek, Roman, gave the foundations that were influences for the subsequent civilization. Countless intertwining, taken over gods, artistic directions, influences, which upgraded each other and created, we can say, a unique treasure trove of ancient beliefs, cultures, arts, which are still visible today in many buildings around the world.
It is well known that the Louvre in Paris, the construction of a building together with a large courtyard, was built according to the shape of the ancient Egyptian temple in Luxor. Then many state institutions in Wasington were built on the model of Greece, Roman and Egyptian temples and buildings. And not just in Washington, but in other cities in America and the world.
When it comes to art, everyone can be convinced of ancient achievements around the world. All these influences, through various revivals during the Middle Ages as the Renaissance, classicism, experienced their rebirth, and the works of art are based on ancient models. These works of art are still present today, not only as museum exhibits, but also as inspiration and testimony to the supreme ancient achievements.
The ancient religions known as pagan are still present today. Although the world is dominated by three monotheistic religions, elements of pagan ancient religions are an integral part of modern religions and beliefs. Not only as visible reminders of buildings and temples, they are also part of everyday life. Certainly the ancient religions also shaped humanity and left an influence that is still present today. In the end, the original civilizations and their religions are an integral part of humanity's overall heritage, and without them, the latter religions would probably not have formed. Ancient religious beliefs are breathed into all three sacred monotheistic books. Evidence of this is the many ancient religious stories of the Sumerian time, the Epic of the Gilgamesh, and many others, which can later be found in both Bible and the Koran.
