Widely considered the "cradle of civilization", the name Mesopotamia means "the land between two rivers". Of course, those two rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in present day Iraq. Urban centers began in this region about 5300 BC. The people of Mesopotamia created a writing system called "cuneiform" which consisted of a series of wedge shapes in wet clay.
