There is a lot of speculation about where the Garden of Eden was located. I've not drawn any conclusions yet as to the exact location, but it very well could have been in Mesopotamia.

a while back i asked a pastor that question at a friends house and we got into that discussion.. its not really proven yet where the Garden actually was.. some relegious groups say it never really existed and it was a heaven thing, but then in Genesis says Adam and Eve were the first persons on earth and they were at the garden. \n\nYet most geographicians(if thats a word lol) believe to be on the Middle East, near Mesopotamia. and that is because on text is say from Eden the river diveded into 4 other rivers or 4 branches which is tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, & Gohin. Today 2 of those rivers are no longer with water.. but from satellite photos, has reveled 2 dry riverbeds flowing toward the Persian Gulf, near where Tigris and Euphrates also terminate..\n\nwell hope that helped u asnwer ur question!!

Dead Sea.\n\nBedouin shepherds accidentally stumbled upon one of the most important religious discoveries of all time -- The Dead Sea Scrolls.\n\nSeven ancient scrolls, written in Aramaic, Herbrew, and Greek, discovered by Bedouin shepherds in 1947, 13 miles east of Jerusalem, turned out to be from the period between 200 B.C. and A.D. 68. The scrolls held information about the Old Testament, including material never seen before in modern times.

Do you want the first time they ever had agriculture or when they first started recording agriculture?  \nAgriculture started in Mesopotamia: \n\nMesopotamian (Babylonian) evidence of cultivation of \nVitis vinifera (grapes) and grain (barley and wheat) 4500-4000 BC

From archaeological evidence it would appear that the first groups of people to stop being hunter-gatherers and set up permanent settlements with agriculture and domestic animals and a structured community was in Sumer. They also started us on the road to mathematics, geometry, poetry, fancy religious rituals, reading, writing and astrology. They seemed to have been pretty fair at homeopathic medicine and they were positively wizard at law. Politicking seems to have been another of their inventions, discoveries, whatever. They're the first we've ever found to record elections of local officials. Imagine that. And you thought the USA invented democracy. Or maybe the Athenian Greeks. Sorry, Sumer beat 'em both by about 3,000 years!\n\nLocation: Modern-day Basra area, in southern Iraq.

There is very little cultural information about the Indus valley Civ. There is some evidence left that they traded with the Sumerians, etc. but there is really no documentation left from their civ, so the general consensus is that they communicated in a clay/cuneiform fashion.

"There are several suggestions for the origin of the name of Iraq; one dates back to the Sumerian city of Uruk (or Erech). Another suggestion is that Iraq comes from the Aramaic language, meaning "the land along the banks of the rivers."\n\nUnder the Sassanid dynasty, there was a region called "Iraq Arabi" which referred to the southern part of modern Iraq. Al-Iraq was the name used by the Arabs themselves for the land since the 6th century"

This depends upon your definition of what a country is/was.  It appears that the first signs of civilization (building cities) was in Sumer in southern Mesopotamia sometime between 3500 and 3300 BCE.  Soon after, Egypt and the Indus River Valley began.\nSargon of Akkadia was the first ruler to keep a standing army and the first human to rule over multiple city-states.  This was about 2300 BCE.
