Tigris-Euphrates River Valley

The Tigris-Euphrates River Valley is a region in the Middle East where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow through modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Known as the cradle of civilization, it provided early humans with fertile land, water, and resources necessary for agriculture and settlement. The rivers supported ancient Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian cultures, helping them develop writing, cities, and complex societies. Today, it remains an important agricultural and cultural area, though it faces challenges like modern water management and political conflicts impacting the region’s stability.
