Best Answer

It was in the country of ancient Sumer, also known by other later countries as the area of Babylonia, Chaldea, Mesopotamia, and modern-day Iraq. It was located upstream from Basra after the river splits into the Euphrates and Hiddekel rivers, and was on the Euphrates about 1/3rd of the way to Babylon.
