(PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys, AUDIO: The Boundless Sea) The Seventh Doctor and Ace visited the region in 2700 BC. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys) Mesopotamia was later home to the city-state of Babylon, which was visited by Bernice Summerfield. (PROSE: Walking to Babylon) The Surene tribe of Lower Mesopotamia buried the wives alive with their dead husbands. (AUDIO: The Boundless Sea)
  • Mesopotamia is a name for the area of the Tigris–Euphrates river system, corresponding to modern-day Iraq, the northeastern section of Syria and to a much lesser extent southeastern Turkey, smaller parts of southwestern Iran and Kuwait.

  • La Mesopotamia (in latino maccheronico "Mesopotamiam", in balbuziente "Mmm-me-meso-po-potamia", al contrario "ɐıɯɐʇodosǝW", per gli amici "Mezzaluna Fertile" o "Mezzaluna Gnocca") è una regione situata tra due fiumi, tre mari, otto montagne, 2kg e mezzo di pomodorini e un paio di melanzane. La Mesopotamia fu creata dalla Dea Madre, per rimediare a una grave dimenticanza di Dio, che aveva creato la Pangea dimenticandosi la "Mezzaluna fertile" nello sgabuzzino. Citando un passo del Vangelo secondo ☻:
  • Mesopotamia (del griego: Μεσοποταμία, "entre ríos", traducción del antiguo persa Miyanrudan, "la tierra entre los ríos", o del arameo Beth-Nahrin, "dos ríos") es el nombre por el cual se conoce a la zona del Próximo Oriente ubicada entre los ríos Tigris y Éufrates, si bien se extiende a las zonas fértiles contiguas a la franja entre los dos ríos, y que coincide aproximadamente con las áreas no desérticas del actual Irak. El término alude principalmente a esta zona en época antigua.
