Geography[edit] The Tigris is 1,850 km long, rising in the Taurus Mountains of eastern Turkey about 25 km southeast of the city of Elazig and about 30 km from the headwaters of the Euphrates. The river then flows for 400 km through Turkish territory before becoming the border between Syria and Turkey.
Tigris: one of the main rivers in Mesopotamia. The bridge at Diyarbakir. Our word Tigris comes from an Old Persian word that can be translated as fast or arrow-like. The ancient Sumerians called the river Idigna, and in the Akkadian language that was spoken in Babylonia and Assyria, its name was Idiqlat. The Tigris is about 1,850 km long and rises in the eastern Taurus mountain range, or Armenia, as it was once called. Flowing in a generally southeasterly direction, it passed along Amida (modern DiyarbakÄ±r), where the Royal Road from Assyria to Anatolia crossed the river, and along Nineveh and AÅ¡Å¡ur.
