Tigris-Euphrates Civilization

The Tigris-Euphrates Civilization, often called the "Cradle of Civilization," developed in ancient Mesopotamia around 3500 BCE in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (modern Iraq). It was one of the earliest complex societies, known for innovations like writing (cuneiform), cities such as Uruk, and advancements in law, agriculture, and architecture. The fertile land allowed for surplus food, supporting population growth and cultural development. This civilization laid the foundation for many aspects of modern society, influencing subsequent cultures through innovations in governance, technology, and religion.
