Detailed explanation-1: -The two Mesopotamian sivers are the Tigris River and the Euphrates River. Both rivers begin in Turkey and flow south to the Persian Gulf. The Tigris River is on the eastern side of Mesopotamia while the Euphrates River is on the western side.
Detailed explanation-2: -Another name for the Tigris used in Middle Persian was Arvand Rud, literally “swift river".
