The beauty of nature and the ecological villages surrounding the marshes and their picturesque was a reason for inspiration and weirdness of a lot of people interested in culture and history since marshes are one of the broadest most diverse ecological environments in the world covering around 13000-15000 square kilometers, the largest of them are Hammar marshes (5100 square kilometers) and Houizeh marshes (3000 square kilometers) making it as an international protectorate that can be easily monitored by United Nations and UNESCO. The inhabitants of the marshes are considered as an extension to Sumerians who dwelt Ur in Dhi Qar governorate that contained a lot of significant and aesthetic monuments of cultural and historical importance, as well as a religious status among the adherents of Christianity fir being the home of the prophet Abraham (PBUH) to be a center for pilgrims of the entire world annually and a global center of divine religion. Since the first letter appeared in the land of Sumer, so this city has become a center of intellectual and human radiation, from this orientation Baghdad University has paid great attention to this fact through undertaking many academic events such as field visits for many years.
