Тhe river has an important role in religion and mythology
The river has been considered sacred for multiple millennia, and that’s understandable because it creates a livable environment in the entire region. It started with the Sumerians who believed that the river was created by the water god called “Enki.” The river is also mentioned in the Bible as the third of the four rivers emerging from the river flowing out of the Garden of Eden. Finally, in the Book of Daniel, he mentioned that he received a vision while he was near “that great river the Tigris.”
