'''Memopotamia''' is a historical region of southwestern [[Europa]].

==Etymology==
[[File:Anonymous Venetian orientalist painting, The Reception of the Ambassadors in Damascus', 1511, the Louvre.jpg|200px|thumb|''Reception of the Aroman Ambassadors'' (1511)]]
The {{wp|pars pro toto}} name ''Memopotamia'' (/ˌmɛməpəˈteɪmiə/) comes from the classical [[List_of_Spoken_Languages_on_Eurth|Aroman]] combination of ''memor'' ("remembering") + ''potamos'' ("river"). This translated roughly as "the remembering river(lands", an {{wp|allusion}} to the old cities on a river with long-lasting memories.

When the [[Aroman Empire]] came into existence the Memopotapian civilisations were already ancient. The Memopotamian {{wp|city-states}} collected and guarded all the knowledge on known [[Eurth]]. While nations died and old regions grew arid, the Memopotamians preserved what each nation had contributed to the common heritage of mankind. The cities of Librylon and Urucademia to be regarded as capitals of knowledge and learning, in part because of respectively the {{wp|House_of_Wisdom|House of Wisdom}} and {{wp|Library_of_Alexandria|Great Library}}.

According to earlier sources, the people referred to their region as the Land of {{wp|Shinar}} ("two cities").

==Geography==
Memopotamia is a subcontinent in southwestern [[Europa]], home to several extinct and extant nations.
