History
Trade has flourished between Ergani and Mesopotamia during the third millennium BC. Ergani has a rich history of being a copper mining region.[8] Copper supplied the entire region from Anatolia, Northern Levant to Upper Mesopotamia, but most importantly down the Euphrates river to Lower Mesopotamia.
