Study explains Euphrates origin
A recent geological study has revealed the origin of the Euphrates River, showing that it formed between 1.6 and 3.6 million years ago as a result of the merger of two ancient river systems. These systems flowed through Turkey and Syria and connected in the Mediterranean Sea. Tectonic activity around the Taurus Mountains influenced the river's course, eventually developing into a single, powerful river. This had a significant impact on shaping the region and the development of early civilizations such as Sumer and Babylon. It led to the formation of the Euphrates Delta, which covered the Mesopotamian Plain, where agriculture and writing emerged.
