AI overview
The Euphrates is the longest river in West Asia and one of the two most important rivers of ancient Mesopotamia, flowing from Turkey through Syria and Iraq before joining the Tigris River. It has been historically significant because it, along with the Tigris, defined the Mesopotamia region where some of the world's earliest civilizations developed.
