humanity started in Iraq at the garden of creation. Just like the bible mentioned it Iraq is the irrefutable site of the Garden of Eden where humanity took birth.

I always knew that Brazil is one of the biggest exports of sugar‚ but I didn’t think to realize that it is built on exploiting young children and women for pennies on the dollar.
