The Tigris and the Euphrates rivers are each a river in its own right, however they join each other in the Middle East. Their history is part of the history of Mesopotamia.
The Tigris flows 1,150 miles from the mountains of east Turkey, through Iraq, navigable to Baghdad.
The Euphrates also begins in eastern Turkey and flows 1,700 miles through Syria and Iraq and thence into the Persian Gulf. It floods twice a year.

Is Mesopotamia still real?
"Mesopotamia" means "the land between the rivers", referring to the Tigris and the Euphrates. There is still land between those rivers. But there never was a country called "Mesopotamia", that's just a geographical expression. That area is called "Syria" now, or makes up most of Syria.

Is Africa the mother land or Israel?
The mother land? The "beginnings location" according to the Holy Bible (Genesis chapter 2:10-14) is where the Pishon, the Gihon, the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers were...that general area. Two of the rivers seem to have disappeared though the Tigris and the Euphrates still exist. Africa is the pro-evolution theory group choice of "beginnings location".AnswerSince the first humans evolved in Africa, it is understandable that some would wonder whether the biblical Garden of Eden was also in Africa. However, it seems clear that the biblical authors believed that the legendary garden was somewhere in the Middle East. Russia is the motherland. Israel is the holy land.
What are the two rivers?
This question is incomplete, you don't specify the region or culture associated with the question. I could give you the names of literally dozens of "important" rivers and yet I still wouldn't be able to answer your question. Examples: Nile River, Amazon River, Tigris River, Euphrates River, Mississippi River....
What is the difference between ancient Mesopotamia and current Mesopotamia?
Mesopotamia is a part of Iraq, and Iraq still does have the Tigris and Euphrates which remain the most important rivers in the Middle East after the Nile. The difference between Mesopotamia and Iraq in terms of topography mainly concerns the area of Iraq outside of Mesopotamia (such as the Zagros Mountains in the East or the Anbar Deserts in the West). Note: it is not that these areas did not exist during the time of Ancient Mesopotamia, just that they were not part of that region (in the same way that the Rocky Mountains were not part of the Thirteen Colonies, even though they are part of the United States and existed concurrently with the Thirteen Colonies). The other difference is that the silt carried by the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers has pushed the southern point of Mespoptamia further south each year. Half of Kuwait and the Iraqi Shatt Al-Arab region have been formed since the end of Ancient Mesopotamia.

Why did early civilizations form in ancient mesopotamia?
The first people to settle did so because they developed methods of farming. Before that people would hunt and gather.
