All American students need to know about the land known historically as Mesopotamia, or the "Cradle of Civilization."Mesopotamia's Sumerian, Babylonian, and Assyrian civilizations produced much of the world's earliest writing, science, mathematics, legal systems and philosophy.

The country's oil provides about 95% of its foreign exchange earnings.
