What are examples of cultural, economic, or environmental diffusion between the Sumerians and ONE other society (please give name of this...

The Sumerians are of unknown origin; some scholars say
that they originated from Northern India.


They ruled
Mesopotamia from 3200-2360 BC. ( 840 years long )


The
Acadians of Semitic origin conquered Mesopotamia by the 2350 and took over almost all
Sumerian civilization.


The Sumerians started with writing :
Cuneiform writing which developed later to the Latin alphabet, via Phoenicia, the Greeks
and the Etruscans


The Gilgamesh story ( of the Flood )
ended up in the Jewish Bible.


The worshipped three gods (
Trinity ) which has been taken over by Christianity – also influenced by the holy cypher
of Three by the Indo-Europeans.


Numeration based on the
number twelve. Which is more convenient that the decimal numeration, since 12 can be
divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. ( 10 has only 5 as main divider ). Therefore we count
in 24 hours and 60 seconds. We divide our angles in 360
degrees.


Now it is obvious that the Sumerians influenced
people all over the world an not only one society.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
