Mesopotamia
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Mesopotamia is the region between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates in the Middle East, roughly corresponding to modern Iraq. The name comes from the Greek words μέσος "between" and ποταμός "river", referring to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the area in between. The Arabic term is بين النهرين Ma Bayn Al Nahrain "between the two rivers". It is often referred to as the "Cradle of Civilization".
