🎧 Listen to Introduction
Avar consists of seven parts: three archaeological sites and four wetland marsh areas in southern Iraq. The archaeological cities of Uruk and Ur and the archaeological site of Tell Eridu are part of the remains of Sumerian cities and settlements that developed in southern Mesopotamia between the 4th and 3rd millennium BC in the marshy deltas of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Avar in southern Iraq (also known as the Iraqi Marshes) is one of the largest inland delta systems in the world, located in an extremely hot and arid environment.
