Geography[edit] The Tigris is 1,850 km long, rising in the Taurus Mountains of eastern Turkey about 25 km southeast of the city of Elazig and about 30 km from the headwaters of the Euphrates. The river then flows for 400 km through Turkish territory before becoming the border between Syria and Turkey.
In addition, the Tigris served as a main avenue for ancient commerce in the region, as goods and crops were shipped throughout the region using the river. Numerous empires and city-states such as Lagash, Ur, the Akkadians, and the Babylonians used the river as a means of transportation for troops as well as goods.
