I was wrong. It was the Mayans who created the most accurate calendar till modern times. They created the first 365.25 day calendar 1700 years before the Babylonian calendar which was a 360 calendar they created around 300bc.
It’s interesting that many view the Mayans as an extinct civilization though they still exist in Southern Mexico.

Thumbsupkid - whatever our disagreements about other matters. Guille is correct here. Babylon was the most successful of a whole number of city-states in ancient Mesapotamia, finally conquered by the Persians. Read your Bible, mate: 'Mene, mene tekel Upharsin' - or 'Peres'- 'Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting. Thy kingdom is taken from thee and given to the Medes and the Persians'. That's how I recall it, anyway.
I travel softly through the night. Yep, I'm one of those.

And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield." (to rwnuts.)
