Ancient Mesopotamia, often referred to as the cradle of civilization, made remarkable contributions to human culture and society. This region, located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was home to innovations in writing, law, and urban planning, as well as significant advancements in mathematics and astronomy. The achievements of Mesopotamian societies such as the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians laid the groundwork for future civilizations. Notable legacies include the invention of cuneiform writing, the code of Hammurabi, and the development of irrigation systems.
