The first civilizations are considered to have developed in a time span between the years 3500 to 1500 BC, in few and well- defined areas of the world, along the banks of rivers. Mesopotamia was one of those regions, it was a place in the Middle East between the valleys of two rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, inserted in the area of the Fertile Crescent, present territories of Israel, Jordan and Lebanon as well as parts of Syria , Iraq , from Egypt , southeastern Turkey and southwestern Iran .
