Tigris and Euphrates

The Tigris and Euphrates are two major rivers in Western Asia, flowing through modern-day Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. They are historically significant as they bordered the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia, often referred to as the "cradle of civilization." These rivers provided essential water resources for agriculture, enabling early societies to thrive. The fertile land between them, known as the "Fertile Crescent," was crucial for the development of farming, trade, and urbanization, leading to advancements in culture, writing, and governance. Today, they remain vital for irrigation and water supply in the region.
