what was the approximate distance from catal huyuk to eridn
The Sumerian water god of Eridu was called Enki. Enki was a creator deity, along with An, the god of heaven, Enlil, the air god, and Ninhursaga, the earth mother.
The major city of Mesopotamia was Babylon.
One of the most important cities of the mesopotamian civilizations was Ur which was present in the area since the Sumer empire.
Mesopotamia was where civilization began. It started the civilization trend. Many followed right after(e.g. Eridu). It also started many other things such as irrigation and larger scale agriculture, domestication of animals, wine, mud bricks and many others. Mesopotamia was also the sight for many historical, biblical artifacts(e.g The Dead Sea Scrolls.
The oldest known Mesopotamian civilization, at Jarmo in northern Iraq, belongs to the Neolithic period. In the south the earliest cultures have been unearthed at Tell el-Ubaid. The civilization of Tell-el-Ubaid proper flourished in the 4th millennium B.C. From then until the emergence of the Assyrian kingdom the hegemony of Mesopotamia was established in the south. Tell el-Ubaid civilization was preceded by the Eridu civilization, the earliest known in southern Mesopotamia; it was succeeded by the Erech civilization, which was to establish the prototypes of the Mesopotamian culture: the appearance of writing, the cylinder seal and the building of ziggurats. This protohistoric era came to an end in about 3000 B.C. This period does, however, mark the beginning of a new era that has left behind written testimony - the Sumerian civilization. The early dynastic period of Sumerian civilization lasted about four centuries. The main sources for its history are a number of lists of kings, together with other documents that assist in identifying them, their dynasties and their deeds, although they provide a far from comprehensive picture of the period. The south was long thought to be the cradle of civilization until earlier settlements (which probably date from about 7000 B.C.) were found in N Mesopotamia; Jarmo, the earliest of these, was superseded by a succession of cultures: Tell Hassuna, Samarra, and Tell Halaf. Tell Halaf, the most advanced of these early cultures, is famous for Halaf ware, the finest prehistoric pottery in Mesopotamia. It is found at such sites as Nineveh andTepe Gawra. While these advances were being made in the north, civilization was just beginning in the south, particularly at Eridu. The Al Ubaid culture that followed flourished in both N and S Mesopotamia, at Tell Zeidan and Tepe Gawra (N) and Ubaid, Eridu, and Oueili (S). Irrigated agriculture became widespread, and social stratification developed in this early urban period.

I believe it was the city of Babylon. Or it might have neen a Sumerian city in the same vicinity of south, central Iraq.Eridu Eridu was the earliest city in southern Mesopotamia, founded c. 5400 BCE. Located 12 km southwest of Ur, Eridu was the southernmost of a conglomeration of Sumerian cities that grew about temples, almost in sight of one another. In Sumerian mythology, Eridu was founded by the Sumerian deity Enki, later known by the Akkadians as Ea.
The city-states that made up the Sumerian Empire were Nippur, Ur, Eridu, and Uruk
Eridu was well-suited for agriculture due to its location near the Euphrates River, which provided a dependable water source for irrigation. The fertile alluvial soil allowed for the cultivation of crops, ensuring a stable food supply. Additionally, the regional climate was favorable, characterized by mild winters and hot summers, further supporting agricultural activities.
The Sumerian water god of Eridu was called Enki. Enki was a creator deity, along with An, the god of heaven, Enlil, the air god, and Ninhursaga, the earth mother.
