The Middle Eastern basin, which runs along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now modern Iraq), hosted a series of sequentially related civilizations that together are referred to as Mesopotamia. It is the oldest of the four early sites of civilization, predating the high culture of Egypt by thousands of years.
