euphrates? [or tigris]

Agree with housemouse, and very easily Googled as TheWinner's link shows - the river is the Euphrates.

[bellabee]

thanks thewinner - seems like there are 2 zeds [but another possible king is also given] - tigris is given, therefore mesopotamia should be right.

[bellabee]

boxtops - thewinners offering says 'east bank of the tigris'

[boxtops]

It says Euphrates in TW's link, not Tigris - the water was drawn up from the Euphrates.

[bellabee]

from memory i thought euphrates - but read on to 'controversy' it relocates nineveh to the tigris. take your pick toyota.

Hi bellabee and boxtops, I was trying to point them in the right direction to find the answers themselves just by googling the question and providing the first link that came up (usually wikipedia).
