Girl and Boy Remember At Night story

Researchers Map 7,000-Year-Old Canal System of the World’s Oldest City
Researchers Map 7,000-Year-Old Canal System of the World’s Oldest City In a groundbreaking discovery archaeologists and geologists have successfully mapped a vast and intricate irrigation canal system that once sustained the ancient city of Eridu widely considered the world's oldest city. Located in present day southern Iraq Eridu was founded around 5,400 BC and was a crucial part of early Sumerian civilization. This recent research offers unprecedented insight into how the city's inhabitants engineered and maintained a sophisticated water management system allowing them to thrive in an otherwise arid environment. While traces of these canals were previously known this is the first time that scientists have successfully tracked the entire network revealing a well preserved irrigation system that played a vital role in sustaining agriculture and urban life. This discovery provides new evidence of the ingenuity of the ancient Sumerians and how they harnessed their environment to build a civilization that influenced future societies.
