Babylonia:

Code of Hammurabi; zodiac - astronomy and astrology; numerals in math (i.e., 60 seconds for one minute, 60 minutes for one hour); Epic of Gilgamesh;

Assyria:

- telescope (if you believe some claims about Layard's discovery of the Nimrud lens)

Sumeria:

- Agricultural Revolution; ziggurats; cuneiform; credited with the invention of the wheel by most authorities; among the first formal astronomers (notion of heliocentric - focusing on the sun, not the earth); clock/calendar; military formations; legal and administrative systems; mail delivery; first formal schools

That's about it that I can think of.
