1. MESOPOTAMIA
BY JOBERT MILLAMINA

2. The civilizations that emerged around these rivers
are among the earliest known non-nomadic agrarian
societies. Because Ubaid, Sumer, Akkad,Assyria and
Babylon civilizations all emerged around the Tigris-
Euphrates, the theory that Mesopotamia is the
cradle of civilization is widely accepted.
EARLIEST CIVILIZATION:THE
FERTILE CRESCENT

4. The Fertile Crescent is the region in the Middle
East which curves, like a quarter-moon shape, from
the Persian Gulf, through modern-day southern
Iraq,Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and
northern Egypt. The term was first coined in 1916
by the Egyptologist James Henry Breasted in his
work Ancient Times: A History of the Early World,
where he wrote, “This fertile crescent is
approximately a semi-circle, with the open side
toward the south, having the west end at the
south-east corner of the Mediterranean, the
centre directly north of Arabia, and the east end at
the north end of the Persian Gulf.”
