Nahrain
Nahrain is the historical region corresponding to ancient Mesopotamia, primarily located in present-day Iraq and parts of neighboring countries. It is often called the "cradle of civilization" because it was one of the world's earliest centers of agriculture, urbanization, and writing, with famous inventions like cuneiform script. Nahrain's fertile rivers, notably the Tigris and Euphrates, supported rich societies and innovative cultures over millennia. Today, the term highlights the cultural and historical significance of this region as the birthplace of many early advancements in human civilization.
