Millions of years ago, Erciyes convulsed surrounding landscape with a torrent of lava, smothering hundreds of miles in what must have been one of the greatest up heavals on the planet. Later, floods, rain, and wind sawed away at the table of lava, creating deep valleys and fissures; slopes turned into cones and columns. Though the white dust from the rocks looks like sand, it is in fact much more fertile than the soil of the surrounding central Anatolian steppelands. Trees, vines, and vegetables grow easily in it. Attracting a dense population of farmers from the earliest times. The Southeast Anatolia is the basin of the rivers of Euphrates and Tigris. We examine the earliest civilizations of the world created in region (Mesopotami).
