TimeLife: The Lost Civilisations - Mesopotamia 4/6

Mesopotamia "land between the rivers" (Aramaic: ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ "Bet Nahrain", Hebrew: ארם נהריים "Aram Naharaim", Arabic: بلاد الرافدين "Bilad Al-Rafidayn") is a name for the Tigris-Euphrates region in the eastern Mediterranean, largely corresponding to Iraq, as well as northeastern Syria, some parts of southeastern Turkey, and some parts of the Khūzestān Province of southwestern Iran.
Widely considered as the cradle of civilization, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires. In the Iron Age, it was ruled by the Neo-Assyrian Empire and Neo-Babylonian Empire, and later conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It mostly remained under Persian rule until the 7th century Islamic conquest of the Sassanid Empire.
