Topography
			Early Mesopotamia was located in the Middle East, which is now Iran and Iraq.  Mesopotamia was a hilly country. Mesopotamia means in Greek "The Land Between Two Rivers." The two rivers that Mesopotamia was surrounded by were the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers. The Tigris was on the east and the Euphrates was on the west. It was an unfertilized land. The only way they could use the land was by irrigation.  Most cities in Mesopotamia drew water from the Euphrates River. Ur, one of the seven cities of Sumer,  covered 150 acres. It held 24,000 citizens. Uruk, another Sumerian city, was  6 miles long with over 900 towers. Uruk's streets were wide enough to let a wagon pass through.
