 | | Below the bifurcation the river of Babylon was again divided into several streams, and indeed the most famous of all the ancient canals was the Arakhat (Archous of the Greeks and Serrt and Nil of the Arabs), which left that river just above Babylon and ran. | | | In this vicinity was situated, at the time of the Christian era, the Parthian city of Spasini-Charax, which was succeeded by Bahman Ardashir (Bamishir) under the Sassanians, and by Moharzi under the Arabs. |

| | Tigris-Euphrates River Dispute |
| | Iraq has been using the Euphrates river since the ancient times, and the ancient irrigation systems and the use of water in Mesopotamia are some of the Iraqi claims that responds to the situation in the Euphrates-Tigris basin. | | | The amount of land used is believed to reach to 1.8 million ha with full utilization of the Euphrates river.[26] Only limited data is available on the Iraqi development projects and the current political strains and international pressure on weapons issues transferred the priority of the water behind political and economical issues. | | | As an upstream riparian to Iraq, Syria began to develop its irrigation programs during the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Iraq was trying to become a major power in the region. |

| | To summarize, the Euphrates river which flows through the land of Babylon (Iraq) will continue to be in the headlines until the last battle. | | | It is documented for us in Genesis 4:8, "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." Since then, men have been murdering each other. | | | These judgments are sure to come because the nations of the world will then have turned against Israel for the very last time. |

| | America's Fork at the Euphrates |
| | Many prophecy writers have long speculated about the rebuilding of ancient Babylon, and as America moved into the Euphrates River Valley to eliminate Saddam Hussein, it fueled even more speculation about the rise of Babylon. | | | On the banks of the Euphrates, about 300 miles upstream from the Persian Gulf stood the wondrous city of ancient Babylon. | | | This theory suggests that the 4 rivers went froth out of the garden toward the four-corners of the earth. |

| | In Sumerian times, the Euphrates flowed directly into the Gulf which was then called the Lower Sea (also called the Bitter Sea and the Sea of the Rising Sun). | | | The ancient Euphrates, which seems to have coursed about forty miles to the east of the present-day course, also appears to have had two branches. | | | Today the Euphrates joins the Tigris at Qurna and flows to the Arabian (or Persian) Gulf through the Shatt al Arab. |

| | Iraq, in turn, has protested the use of Euphrates water associated with Syria’s project, and war between the two was only narrowly averted in 1975. | | | The river is the source of significant political tension, as Turkey, Syria, and Iraq all compete for the use of its waters for irrigation and the generation of hydroelectric power. | | | The Euphrates and Tigris rivers join in southeastern Iraq near Al Qurnah to form the Shatt al Arab, which empties into the Persian Gulf. |
