This northern neighbour and colony of Babylon remained to the last of the same race and language and of almost the same religion and civilization as that of the country from which it emigrated . The political fortunes of both countries for more than a thousand years were closely interwoven with one another; in fact, for many centuries they formed one political unit. The reader is therefore referred to the article A SSYRIA for the sources of Assyro-Babylonian histor Read More Go to Site

		Iraqi History Page ^Votes:0 WELCOME to Iraq's History Page It might be obvious for everyone that in order to establish a correct understanding of the situation in a certain country, you need to acquire a proper knowledge of the history of that country.

		MEDICINE IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA ^Votes:0 MEDICINE IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA Historical Background The name Mesopotamia (meaning "the land between the rivers") refers to the geographic region which lies near the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and not to any particular civilization. In fact, over the course of several millennia, many civilizations developed, collapsed, and were replaced in this fertile region.

While these floods aided agricultural endeavors by adding rich silt to the soil every year, it took a tremendous amount of human labor to successfully irrigate the land and to protect the young plants from the surging flood waters. Given the combination of fertile soil and the need for organized human la Read More Go to Site

Mesopotamian Cities has Moved Click Here Mesopotamia, as was Egypt, was blessed with yearly flooding from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Unlike Egypt, Mesopotamia was inundated with a large amount of silt. This silt was a constant cause of problems in the man made irrigation systems.

This was too late for the spring crop and two early for the autumn crops. (17F) In addition, in the area of Mesopotamia there was, right below the surface, a large concentration of salt deposits. This high saline content of the soil mad Read More Go to Site

		Two Odonata Citations in Ancient Mesopotamian Literature, Cultural Entomology Digest 1 ^Votes:0 by Dr. Carlos Betoret, Bonet Valencia, SPAIN The greek word "Mesopotamia" (land between the rivers) names the territory between the Euphrates and Tigris River. Actually the Republic of Iraq and the eastern part of the Republic of Syria bore the site of the oldest historical civilization of Sumeria. Forming a foundation for the Babylonian and Assyrian civilizations, this area was occupied from approximately 3500 to 500 B.C. Mesopotamian civilizations are well known for their wonderful masterpieces of art; many of which can be seen in famous museums like the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Iraq Museum. Perhaps less well known is the extraordinary literary production of these people preserved on thousands of clay tablets discovered in archeological ruins including Uruk, Babylon, and Ninev Read More Go to Site
