Story
Welcome to Mesopotamia. You can see both the Tigris river and the Euphrates rivers.

It is the Bronze Age, and there are the Sumer, the Akkadian, the Babylonian, and the Assyrian empires.

Later will come the Iron Age, with the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian Empires.

The Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians and Babylonians were living in Mesopotamia c. 3100 BC.

Babylon fell to the Achaemenid Empire in 539 BC.

In 332 BC, Babylon fell to Alexander the Great.

The Babylon became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire.

The Parthian Empire came to Mesopotamia circa 150 BC.

Roman disputed Mesomotamia to the Parthian.

In AD 226, it fell to the Sassanid Persians and remained under Persian rule until the 7th century Muslim conquest of Persia of the Sasanian Empire. A number of primarily neo-Assyrian and Christian native Mesopotamian states existed between the 1st century BC and 3rd century AD, including Adiabene, Osroene, and Hatra.
