The Tigris (/ˈtaɪɡrɪs/) is the eastern member of the two great rivers that define Mesopotamia, the other being the Euphrates. The river flows south from the mountains of southeastern Turkey through Iraq and empties itself into the Persian Gulf.
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. This stretch of 44 km is the only part of the river that is located in Syria.
Close to its confluence with the Euphrates, the Tigris splits into several channels. First, the artificial Shatt al-Hayy branches off, to join the Euphrates near Nasiriyah. Second, the Shatt al-Muminah and Majar-al-Kabir branches off to feed the Central Marshes. Further downstream, two other distributary channels branches off (the Al-Musharrah and Al-Kahla), which feeds the Hawizeh Marshes. The main channel continues southwards and is joined by the Al-Kassarah, which drains the Hawizeh Marshes. Finally, the Tigris joins the Euphrates near al-Qurnah to form the Shatt-al-Arab. According to Pliny and other ancient historians, the Euphrates originally had its outlet into the sea separate from that of the Tigris.
Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Maǧīd al-Tikrītī; 28 April 1937 – 30 December 2006) was the fifth President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003. A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organization Ba'ath Party – Iraq Region—which espoused Ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power in Iraq.
As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam nationalized oil and other industries. The state-owned banks were put under his control, leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, and UN sanctions. Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as oil money helped Iraq's economy to grow at a rapid pace. Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunni Arabs, a minority that made up only a fifth of the population.
A journey down the Tigris River, starting in southeastern Turkey and travelling through Iraq to the Persian Gulf, using traditional boats and vessels in order to document and bring awareness to the myriad threats facing not only the timeless waters of the Tigris but also the unique cultural heritage of Mesopotamia.
Natural Sound In a staged display of his physical fitness, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein swam across the Tigris River three times on Tuesday. The 60-year-old leader opened a swimming competition by completing three 100-metre crossings of the river. Eight Presidential bodyguards swam alongside Saddam during the swim. A similar event was staged by the Iraqis in 1995 but Western media claimed that on that occasion it was a Saddam double who completed the swim. Saddam refuted the claims saying that he was easily fit enough to complete the course then and now. The crossings marked the opening of an Iraqi swimming contest. The competition commemorates Saddam's 1959 river crossing, after his participation in a failed attempt to assassinate the then prime minister, Abdul Karim Kassim. ...
I'm trying to portrait what the media won't display , neither they are interested in. Those birds are the only creatures who really and truly knows the real inner metal of Iraqi people despite what's targeting their co-existence. For few seconds ,on the river bridges and banks , people do really forget all life's savage matters that trouble them and calm their feeling by feeding these Birds. May God bless Iraq ,

Follow us on Instagram @historyliveson https://instagram.com/historyliveson/ River valley civilizations like that of the Mesopotamians were the basis of the agriculture based society we live in today. Understanding the origins of the people of modern day Iraq is just one step in a path to better understanding the world we live in today. The regional name Mesopotamia comes from the ancient Greek root words μέσος (meso) "middle" and ποταμός (potamia) "river" and literally means "between rivers". The Tigris and Euphrates rivers gave these people life and the ability to create a civilization we remember today.

Nabil Musa is the first "waterkeeper" in Iraq and the Middle East. His mission is to protect the waterways of northern Iraq, and specifically, the upper Tigris River, so that its water remains swimmable, fishable and drinkable. Musa paddles the waterways in his kayak to raise awareness about environmental threats to the river. In a country largely known to outsiders for war and conflict, the beauty of this ancient river might surprise you.
