Mesopotamia cradled the earliest farming settlements in human history, people having settled along the Tigris and Euphrates from the seventh millennium BC. The Ubaid culture developed pottery and irrigated agriculture, laying the ground for what would become the ancient world's greatest civilisations.
The Sumerians founded the world's first cities — Ur, Uruk and Lagash — and invented cuneiform, the oldest known writing system, alongside the wheel, organised agriculture and written law. The Ziggurat of Ur still stands as evidence of their genius.
Around 2334 BC Sargon of Akkad founded the first unified empire in history, bringing Sumer and Akkad under one banner. The bronze head found at Nineveh carries the features of an age whose reach extended from the Arabian Gulf to the Mediterranean.
Babylon reached its height under Hammurabi, author of the first comprehensive written code of law, and later under Nebuchadnezzar II, who built the Ishtar Gate and the Hanging Gardens — one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
The Assyrians built a formidable military and administrative empire from their capital at Nineveh, leaving an enduring artistic legacy in the winged bull "lamassu" that guarded their palaces, and in the Library of Ashurbanipal — thousands of clay tablets, among the oldest libraries on earth.
Under the Abbasids, Baghdad became the capital of the Islamic world and a global centre of learning through the House of Wisdom, while the spiralling Malwiya minaret at Samarra embodied the genius of Islamic architecture. Iraq still holds a heritage running from the dawn of history to that golden age.
