This exploration delves into the aromatic tapestry of ancient Mesopotamia, unraveling the essential role of scents in the trade networks that thrived amidst the mud-brick cities and fertile riverbanks. In the ancient cradle of civilization, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, known as Mesopotamia, scents played a pivotal and often overlooked role in the expansive trade networks that flourished among the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Beyond the grand palaces and bustling marketplaces, fragrances became commodities of significant economic value, shaping the dynamics of commerce, cultural exchange, and societal well-being.
