What is the climate in the ancient two rivers?
The climate in Ancient Mesopotamia was dry and hot. Summer lasted for about six months. Very often the air temperature rose to + 50-60 degrees. Precipitation was very scarce and fell only in winter. On the northern side, snow sometimes fell in winter. It rained in summer, autumn and spring. A strong wind was blowing from the Persian Gulf, which raised large waves. The waters of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers rose and floods occurred. During floods, the water brought with it fertile silt and minerals. Therefore, the land was very fertile. Also, swamps were formed from floods and rapid drainage from the scorching sun. On which there was an abundance of fish and game. Wild animals came to the watering hole. There were many deserts on the territory of Mesopotamia. The flora is very scarce. Only in the North did different types of trees grow. The date palm, grapes, apple trees and others were cultivated throughout the territory. There are practically no natural resources.
