Mesopotamia "land between the rivers" (Aramaic: ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ "Bet Nahrain", Arabic: بلاد الرافدين translit: "Bilad Al-Rafidayn") is a name for the Tigris–Euphrates region in the eastern Mediterranean, largely corresponding to Iraq,[1][2][3] as well as northeastern Syria,[2] some parts of southeastern Turkey,[2] and some parts of the Khūzestān Province of southwestern Iran.[4][5]
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.
