Fossil records indicate that the date palm was common around the Mediterranean and in Mesopotamia as early as the Eocene epoch some 50 million years ago; among written records, an Akkadian cuneiform text from around 2500 BC mentions the date palm as a cultivated tree. Bas-relief sculptures from the palace of Sennacharib in Niveveh, Iraq carved in the 7th C. B.C. clearly depict cultivated groves.
