MESOPOTAMIA

Mesopotamia (The Fertile Crescent) was located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The rivers flooded semi annually and predictably to allow ample crop conditions, but the system was not perfect. Today the place Mesopotamia used to be is in the area of Iraq, Syria and Kuwait, as well as regions along the Turkish-Syrian and Iranian-Iraqi borders.
