Mesopotamia (Iraq) was the Garden of Eden and the Cradle of Civilization. It embraced the once Fertile Crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers where humans built cities, invented the wheel, devised irrigation systems and eventually developed written language. Excavation of these cities began around 1840 and has since yielded a wondrous variety of monuments and treasures. After an illustrated overview of the history and culture of Mesopotamia, the program moves forward in time to modern Iraq and explores it from the vantage point of its rich past.
