The Euphrates River was formed between 1.6 and 3.6 million years ago as a result of the merger of two ancient river systems. Their courses changed due to tectonic activity in the Taurus Mountains south of Turkey. This river, which currently stretches approximately 2,800 kilometers from Turkey through Syria and Iraq to the Persian Gulf, did not form all at once; rather, it resulted from long-term geological transformations. Without these changes, ancient cities and cuneiform writing in Mesopotamia would not have emerged, highlighting that geological shifts of the Earth's crust were fundamental in the development of human civilizations.
