Why it matters
The garden was planted eastward in Eden. Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldees. Nineveh heard Jonah preach and repented; Babylon carried Judah into exile and Daniel into a lions' den. Nearly every book of the Bible touches this soil.
"By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept…" — Psalm 137:1
On the ground
Iraq is on the map, not yet on the itinerary
We haven't plotted sites here yet. The ground matters to the story, so it is on the scouting list — tell us if it is somewhere you want to walk.
Also in Mesopotamia & Persia
Walk it yourself.
Small groups, proper guides, and scripture read where it was lived.
