Did mesopatamia grow corn

Mesopotamia did not grow corn (maize) as it was not native to the region; corn was first domesticated in Mesoamerica. Instead, ancient Mesopotamian agriculture focused on crops such as barley, wheat, and legumes, which thrived in the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The agricultural practices of Mesopotamia laid the foundation for early civilization, supporting large populations and complex societies.
