Mesopotamia (Aramaic: ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ Between Two Rivers, meaning "Country of the Two Rivers", Greek: Μεσοποταμία Mesopotamia, meaning Between the Two Rivers) is a historical geographic region located in southwestern Asia. It is one of the first cultural centers in the world. It is currently located in Iraq, Syria and Turkey between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Its most famous civilizations are the civilizations of Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, Assyria and Chaldean. With the flourishing of civilizations in Mesopotamia, at simultaneous and successive times, neighboring lands were occupied, and parts of Iran were occupied to the east, specifically the Elam civilization. (It is currently known as the Khuzestan Governorate) and occupied western Syria all the way to Palestine, where the Babylonian captivity took place during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar. After the death of Nebuchadnezzar, the Mesopotamian civilization passed through an era of decline and decline, while the Persian civilization arose and developed. Babylon and what came after it were occupied by Cyrus, and Ctesiphon (currently known as Ctesiphon) became southeast of Baghdad as the capital of the Persian state until what is known as the Islamic conquest of Iraq and the Levant came at the hands of Omar ibn the speech. Iraq remained under Muslim rule until the round city of Baghdad was built during the reign of the Abbasid ruler Al-Mansur. Then Baghdad became the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, and that era was considered the Islamic Golden Age. In 1920, he announced the emergence of the first government in Iraq after the end of the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and the era of the Kingdom of Iraq began, then it turned to republican rule.
