Basra
Basra is a city in southern Iraq located on the Shatt al-Arab in the Arabian Peninsula. Basra is also Iraq's main port, although it does not have deep water access, which is handled at the port of Umm Qasr. However, there is ongoing construction of Grand Faw Port on the coast of Basra, which is considered a national project for Iraq and will become one of the largest ports in the world and the largest in the Middle East, in addition, the port will strengthen Iraq’s geopolitical position in the region and the world.
Historically, the city is one of the ports from which the fictional Sinbad the Sailor journeyed. The city was built in 636 and played an important role in the Islamic Golden Age. Basra is consistently one of the hottest cities in Iraq, with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 50 °C (122 °F). In April 2017, the Iraqi Parliament recognized Basra as Iraq's economic capital.
Etymology
The city has had many names throughout its history, Basrah being the most common. In Arabic, the word baṣrah means "the overwatcher," which may have been an allusion to the city's origin as an Arab military base against the Sassanids. Others have argued that the name is derived from the Aramaic word basratha, meaning "place of huts, settlement.[2]

10D Inner Stargate Basra, Iraq
Basra is the location of one of the pairs of the original 10D Stargate of the planetary Tree of Life, and is Iraq’s main port city that sits on the Shatt al-Arab river in the Arabian Peninsula. Basra was once filled with gorgeous water features, freshwater canals and fertile farmlands called the Venice of the Middle East. Sadly, after thousands of years of siege to destroy its stargate mysteries, now it has been ground down into the crumbling decay of a trash filled cesspool caused from the onslaught of the enemies’ blitzkrieg that comes with war and invasion. Basra’s counterpart is found close by on the small island of Abadan near the Iran and Iraq border, an ancient port city that has suffered much of the same fate of destruction and insatiable greed, as rich oil fields were discovered at the turn of the century.
10D Mother Arc Gate Baghdad, Iraq
Basra and Baghdad are locations of Iraq’s ancient history of authentic Essene infused Christian communities from the lineage of the 10th Essene Tribe that was ravaged and decimated for thousands of years, by the ongoing invasion agendas of unrelenting fear along with intermittent episodes of horrifying war violence and genocidal massacres. The more recent sieges made against Iraq and in Iran’s history were through forced Islamification and attacks against those indigenous groups with past cultural memories. These two cities share the same common threads of the never-ending wars, military occupation and propagandist subterfuge used to hide the extraterrestrial artifacts and its incredible history of advanced knowledge found there.[4]
