Mesopotamian Plain

The Mesopotamian Plain is a historical region located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, primarily in present-day Iraq. Known as the "Cradle of Civilization," it was home to some of the earliest human settlements and complex societies, like the Sumerians and Babylonians. The fertile soil and abundant water made agriculture thriving, leading to advancements in writing, governance, and trade around 3000 BC. This area played a crucial role in the development of culture, technology, and urbanization, influencing many aspects of modern society. Today, it remains significant for its archaeological sites and historical importance.
