It is the tree of life of our civilization, of our modern existence, which even without knowing it, bears the imprints of the first civilizations long forgotten.
Mesopotamia, whose name means “Land between the two rivers” in Greek, is the cradle of human civilization.
This land, between the Tigris and the Euphrates, is the home of the first civilizations: the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Chaldeans, the Assyrians as well as the cradle of writing and sciences.
Mesopotamia, kingdom of myths and legends, is also the breeding ground of Western and Judeo-Christian culture.
The Bible tells us about Babylon, “The Great Whore”, symbol of evil, while Semiramis, the legendary Assyrian queen, inspired Voltaire, Mozart and Rossini.
Today we are going to discover the first city in the world, Eridu, today called Tell Abu Shahrain in Iraq.
