The fertile crescent between the Euphrates and Tigris is considered the cradle of civilization. As early as 3000 BC, Mesopotamians developed sophisticated canal networks to irrigate fields and supply settlements with drinking water. These canals connected rivers and basins, retained floods, and allowed for regular harvests. In the depiction, children jump along the banks, gather water and marvel at the flowing streams – a vibrant picture of daily life along the Euphrates.

The scene reflects community life: Water work was a family task, and children helped with digging, repairing, and playing after the work was done. Historical finds indicate that Mesopotamians used early forms of locks and water wheels. Mythical texts also praise the life-giving river, as water was a sign of divine favor. Today, you can recreate this technique and joyful atmosphere and decide whether the canal receives rich blue or green tones.
