| Abstract | ||
| Al-Najaf plate has suitable geological and geomorphological position which make it as a unique place for the Mesopotamian peoples to migrate to it during the huge inundations. The geological and structural and spatial analysis of Al-Najaf plateau were represented the possibility of the formation of a topographic high in the area where the two ridges of Tar Al- Sayde and Tar Al-Najaf where connected . this high was formed due to the eart quakes that were happened in the area during the past time . by this topographic high the course of Euphrates river in its first stage was closed . this hypothesis was need a detail studies in the area .The Landsat images were represented that the alluvial fan deposits which brought by Al-Khar valley& which drained from the west direction were posterior than the first stage of Euphrates river because they were cut its path. From the above mentioned it was cleared that the area of Mesopotamian was the only candidate area for the huge inundation because of its depressed topography that was allowed the sea tide and rivers water to covered it. This event was happened before 4000 – 5000 B.c. | ||
