Detail of a clay seal (about 200BC) from Mesopotamia. The origin of agriculture began more than 10,000 years ago ie. circa 8000 BC in the land between two rivers, Tigris and Euphrates what is now mainly Iraq. The food for civilisation is agriculture.
Iraq has been Bushwhacked to almost stone age, how will the people forget revenge for a thousand years more?
Map showing the then agriculturaaly fertile Tigris-Euphrates region. The earliest civilisation in Mesopotamia was the Sumerian. The Assyrian which conquered more land came much later around 1300BC.
