Isn't the yellow river extremely polluted though? Also I think the Mesopotamian people were a lot smarter than you give them credit for they brought a lot of good in the world like most however they've also brought a lot of shit into the world which in this case overwhelms the good. It's also interesting to note that Assyria seemingly had the upper hand against babylon due to their warrior culture. It's similar to the contrast between sparta and greece in that regard.
