Mesopotamia

What is Mesopotamia?


1.

from the Greek "meso" meaning "middle" or "between", and "potamos" meaning "river", Mesopotamia refers to the ancient land straddling the Tigris and Euphrates, currently more or less the site of a completely artificial nation called Iraq, which was cobbled together by the Frogs and the Limies in 1919 out of a few odd Ottoman provinces.

There's a lot of oil there, but no weapons of mass destruction.

2. "The Mesopotamish sun is beating down

And making cracks in the ground

But there's nowhere else to stand

In Mesopotamia (No one's ever seen us)

The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band)

The land where we invisibly rule"

-Lyrics from "The Mesopotamians" by "They Might Be Giants".
