Article description: (description) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Iraq, historically known as Mesopotamia, is often called the "cradle of civilization" due to its early development of urban societies. Ancient Iraq was home to several influential empires, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. After the fall of the Assyrian Empire, the rise of Islam in the 7th century profoundly influenced Iraq, making it a central part of the Islamic world and leading to the establishment of Baghdad as a major cultural and intellectual hub during the Abbasid Caliphate. |
