Dear Gunnar, the area between the Euprates and Tigris is Iraq. It is historically known as Mesopotamia( between the two rivers); the cradle of civilization. Best regards.

in terms of urban life and its developed construction, quite obviously Mesopotamia. Much of the template for urban life, the functions of city-inhabitants, stem from the first Mesopotamian cities such as Uruk, Ur, Eruk, and Akkad.

Thank you very much Stanley. The ancient cities you referred to are all in found in the southern part of Iraq. Hazim.

Yes, of course. W£hat was once Sumeria.

Thank you very much Stanley, for your Support. Summeria is located in the Southern part of Iraq. Hazim.

What Sumeria gave, even to modern culture, is inestimable. They provided the template on nearly everything within urban cultures: thinking, thoughts and imagination.

Thank you very much, Stanley for your excellent answer. Hazim.

Iraq is the birthplace of the first and greatest civilizations on the face of the Earth. Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, Assyria and Abbasids. The first system of writing, the 60 minute hour, the 12 months in a year, the seven day in a week, first school, first code of law, etc. Amir

This information is really marvellous, professor Amir. Also Algebra, Chemistry, the concept of zero and many others. Thank you and best regards. Hazim.

Dear Hazim questions that the dominant academy (London + USA) do not answer (or take into consideration)

1.Since Summeria is located in the Southern part of Iraq , what was the sea level hight at that time... (is there fresh water in Bahrein?)

2. What about the Jiroft civilisation, -since the 2005 no effort to integrate it in mainstream academia views (brave ideological doctoring....)

3. What is the date of the earliest hamlets in the Aegean islands (when the sea level was somehow lower than today ??

Regards and good luck with science
