Distinctive features of the interfluve.

Mesopotamia is a state located on the territory of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In these lands, special civilizations of the Sumerians and Assyrians were formed. A distinctive feature of Mesopotamia was the presence of despotic power. Unlike ancient Egypt, the king’s power was not deified in these territories. He was considered the governor of God on earth, but not a deity. He could exercise government in various spheres of life without the consent of other state bodies. The culture was built on the worship of gods.
