Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia is a name for the area of the Tigris–Euphrates river system, corresponding to modern-day Iraq, the northeastern section of Syria and to a much lesser extent southeastern Turkey, smaller parts of southwestern Iran and Kuwait. Widely considered to be the cradle of civilization in the West, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires, all native to the territory of modern-day Iraq. Dr. Alexander Britski was an expert on Mesopotamia.

An alternate timeline version of Dr. Daniel Jackson claimed to be an expert on the early settlers of Mesopotamia.
