Civilisations- Mesopotamia [2/6]

Mesopotamia, or 'the country between two rivers', is the oldest civilisation to have flourished at the confluence of two rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates. The Mesopotamians included various peoples, the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Akkadians, who coexisted and succeeded one another, mixing and inter-relating in a Near East with a wide range of racial facets. These different peoples, who once lived along the banks of the two rivers, have left behind an archaeological heritage of inestimable value.How did they flourish in such a hostile environment? Where did their wealth come from? And how did this perfectly structured civilisation finally fade and disappear for ever?

This popular series gives new insights into some of the most influential civilisations to shape the world as we know it. To understand where we are now, it might help to understand where we have been.

@Arabchick21Whatever. I was just trying to tell you what the word is suppose to mean... I saw your argument and thought that you made a mistake on the definition of a word. I don't need a lecture... and human is a species by the way. (Races exited when we made them up just like words.)

[Arabchick21]
