This means it has great relevance for our modern world. Babylonian mathematics may have been out of fashion for more than 3000 years, but it has possible practical applications in surveying, computer graphics and education.

The Babylonians, Mesopotamians, Persians, ect where all from around that area and where advanced peoples. Then around the time of the end of the Roman Empire and the birth of a certain "prophet" the civilizations in the Middle East became more and more savage.

Actually both Babylonia and Greece are good examples of how advanced ideas/learning do not necessarily advance societies that do nurture those advancements over time. Translation: faction infighting and decadence can stifle even the most advanced societies. Unfortunately we are seeing the same symptoms in our own nation today.
