The Euphrates

 The Euphrates

The Euphrates River, along the Tigris and the Nile, is responsible for life to exist in the Middle East. Thanks to this river that many civilizations since ancient times have been developed taking advantage of the water flowing through its channel. His 2.870 kilometer cross the territories currently          in Turkey, Syria and Iraq, and this is the last country where it joins the Tigris to form the Shatt-Al-Arab which eventually empties into the Persian Gulf.

It is said that in ancient times the river was much more plentiful and according to Pliny and other ancient historians, the Euphrates had its own outlet to the sea, like the Tigris. As the river has changed, so have the people who have settled on its shores.
