Ancient Mesopotamia is often referred to as the "Cradle of Civilization." This area is now current day Iraq, southwestern Iran, southeastern Turkey, and northeastern Syria. Mesopotamia is the name used for the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These flow into the Persian Gulf. This land was once great for agriculture. This is where people first gathered in large cities, developed wedge-shaped writing called cuneiform, and formed governments.
