Scholars have defined civilization as based on agriculture and urban settlements, and as such is a consequence of the Neolithic Revolution. Current thinking is that there was no single "cradle", but several civilizations that developed independently, of which the Near Eastern Neolithic was the first. The extent to which there was significant influence between the early civilizations of the Fertile Crescent and those of East Asia is disputed. Scholars accept that the civilizations of Norte Chico in present-day Peru and that of Mesoamerica emerged independently from those in Eurasia.
Civilization (orcivilisation) is a sometimes controversial term that has been used in several related ways. Primarily, the term has been used to refer to the material and instrumental side of human cultures that are complex in terms of technology, science, and division of labor. Such civilizations are generally hierarchical and urbanized. In a classical context, people were called "civilized" to set them apart from barbarians, while in a modern-day context, "civilized peoples" have been contrasted with primitive peoples.
There is a tendency to use the term in a less strict way, to mean approximately the same thing as "culture" and therefore, the term can more broadly refer to any important and clearly defined human society.[citation needed] Still, even when used in this second sense, the word is often restricted to apply only to societies that have attained a particular level of advancement-especially the founding of cities.

Introduction:
I remember when I was growing up, if my mother got angry or frustrated with me, she'd say 'oy shked helwa el horiya' and the basic translation of that is 'oh, how beautiful is freedom', but where is freedom?
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya

Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
But where is our freedom?
Verse 1:
This is for Baghdad, the place of my mother's birth

Cradle Of Civilization: The Middle East
The earliest civilizations in history were established in the region now known as the Middle East around 3500 BC by the Sumerians, in Mesopotamia (Iraq), widely regarded as the cradle of civilization. The Sumerians and the Akkadians (later known as Babylonians and Assyrians) all flourished in this region.
"In the course of the fourth millennium BC, city-states developed in southern Mesopotamia that were dominated by temples whose priests represented the cities' patron deities. The most prominent of the city-states was Sumer, which gave its language to the area and became the first great civilization of mankind. About 2340 BC, Sargon the Grea

The Cradle of Civilization
In ancient times the land area now known as modern Iraq was almost equivalent to Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia Map (8KB) the land between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates (in Arabic, the Dijla and Furat, respectively)
Ancient Iraq was home to remarkable achievements. One of the birthplaces of civilization, it saw the world's earliest cities and empires, writing and literature, science and mathematics, monumental art, and innumerable other innovations.
Iraq is the cradle of civilization. It is how we came to be what we are. Mesopotamia was the center of the universe and was the oldest civilization anywhere on this planet.
The land of Iraq is important historically, because it is the land where the first law, the Hamurabi code, was enacted in Babylon thousands of years ago, its where writing was first discovered 5000 years ago at Uruk, and where the seventh wonder of the world, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, is situated.
It is also important religiously, as it has the oldest established church in the world, The Church of the East, founded by St Thomas, one of Christ's 12 disciples. In addition, it has numerous Islamic holy sites such as Karbala, Najaf, and Baghdad. The holy city of Najaf is the study center of theology for the world's 150 million Muslims who follow the Shia tradition.
It is where the two great rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates meet and gave birth to the concept of agriculture. The earliest evidence of animal and plant domestication has been found in and around northern Iraq, dating more than 10,000 years ago.

Lowkey ft. Mai Khalil - Cradle of Civilisation (With Lyrics) ᴴᴰ
Lowkey - Cradle of Civilisation ft. Mai Khalil (with lyrics on screen and in description)
Introduction:
I remember when I was growing up, if my mother got angry or frustrated with me, she'd say 'oy shked helwa el horiya' and the basic translation of that is 'oh, how beautiful is freedom', but where is freedom?
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
But where is our freedom?
Verse 1:
This is for Baghdad, the place of my mother's birth
The cradle of civilisation, for what it's worth
The land I've never seen, culture I've never known
Iraq is in my heart, my blood, my flesh and bones
The air I've never breathed, fragrance I've never smelt,
Pride I've never had, the nationality that I've never felt
Saddam was bad, are the Americans even more so?
They made me grow like I was missin' part of my torso
But I never picked up a grenade in my garden
I never saw people I love die starvin'
I never saw my family die through many years of sanctions
While the ruler's family lived in palaces and mansions
I never had a family member kidnapped for a ransom
And never lost a friend to violence that was random
Bombings, occupation, torture, intimidation
A million dead people doesn't equal liberation
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya (listen)
But where is our freedom?
Verse 2:
Forget division based on ethnicity or religion
Whether you're Sunni, Shia, Kurdish or Christian
Pain is still pain if you're a person that's missin'
We all deserve a life in this Earth that we live in
Is there enough words that can say,
How deeply Baghdad is burnin' today?
And it's not about pity, hands out or sympathy
It's about pride, respect, honour and dignity
Babies being born with deformities from uranium
Those babies aren't just Iraqi, they're Mesopotamian
What I view on the news is making me shiver
'Cause I look at the victims, see the same face in the mirror
This system of division makes it harder for you and me
Peace is a question, the only answer is unity
So many dreams about this place that I've never seen,
Place my family had to leave in the 70's
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya (yeah)
But where is our freedom?
Verse 3:
It rains white phosphorus in Fallujah
This is for those that won't live to see the future
Sorry that I wasn't there, sorry that I couldn't help
I'm sorry for every tear, sorry you've been put through hell
Still I feel like an immigrant, Englishman,
Amongst Arabs and an Arab amongst Englishmen
Like I said they never gave me the culture
But they did give me Kubbad Haleb, Hakaka and Dolma
Ana isme Kareem, wa ohmre thalatha wa-'ishrun,
Amee min Baghdad, wa abuya min Dover
And that's the combination that I carry on my shoulders
Still I rep 'til my death, 'til they kill and seal my flesh
From now, all the way back to Gilgamesh
Such a villainized and criticised nation,
Will always be the cradle of civilisation
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
But where is our freedom?
Talking:
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
I can still feel you calling me
I can still feel you calling me

Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya (listen)
But where is our freedom?
Verse 2:
Forget division based on ethnicity or religion
Whether you're Sunni, Shia, Kurdish or Christian
Pain is still pain if you're a person that's missin'
We all deserve a life in this Earth that we live in
Is there enough words that can say,
How deeply Baghdad is burnin' today?
And it's not about pity, hands out or sympathy
It's about pride, respect, honour and dignity
Babies being born with deformities from uranium
Those babies aren't just Iraqi, they're Mesopotamian
What I view on the news is making me shiver
'Cause I look at the victims, see the same face in the mirror
This system of division makes it harder for you and me
Peace is a question, the only answer is unity
So many dreams about this place that I've never seen,
Place my family had to leave in the 70's
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya (yeah)
But where is our freedom?
Verse 3:
It rains white phosphorus in Fallujah
This is for those that won't live to see the future
Sorry that I wasn't there, sorry that I couldn't help
I'm sorry for every tear, sorry you've been put through hell
Still I feel like an immigrant, Englishman,
Amongst Arabs and an Arab amongst Englishmen
Like I said they never gave me the culture
But they did give me Kubbad Haleb, Hakaka and Dolma
Ana isme Kareem, wa ohmre thalatha wa-'ishrun,
Amee min Baghdad, wa abuya min Dover
And that's the combination that I carry on my shoulders
Still I rep 'til my death, 'til they kill and seal my flesh
From now, all the way back to Gilgamesh
Such a villainized and criticised nation,
Will always be the cradle of civilisation
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
But where is our freedom?
Talking:
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
I can still feel you calling me
I can still feel you calling me

The earliest civilizations in history were established in the region now known as the Middle East around 3500 BC by the Sumerians, in Mesopotamia (Iraq), widely regarded as the cradle of civilization. The Sumerians and the Akkadians (later known as Babylonians and Assyrians) all flourished in this region.
"In the course of the fourth millennium BC, city-states developed in southern Mesopotamia that were dominated by temples whose priests represented the cities' patron deities. The most prominent of the city-states was Sumer, which gave its language to the area and became the first great civilization of mankind. About 2340 BC, Sargon the Great (c. 2360--2305 BC) united the city-states in the south and founded the Akkadian dynasty, the world's first empire."
Soon after the Sumerian civilization began, the Nile valley of ancient Egypt was unified under the Pharaohs in the 4th millennium BC, and civilization quickly spread through the Fertile Crescent to the west coast of the Mediterranean Sea and throughout the Levant. The Elamites, Hittites, Amorites, Phoenicians, Israelites and others later built important states in this region.
Assyrian empires
Mesopotamia was home to several powerful empires that came to rule almost the entire Middle East—particularly the Assyrian Empires of 1365--1076 BC and the Neo-Assyrian Empire of 911--605 BC. The Assyrian Empire, at its peak, was the largest the world had seen. It ruled all of what is now Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, and Bahrain—with large swathes of Iran, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Sudan, and Arabia. "The Assyrian empires, particularly the third, had a profound and lasting impact on the Near East. Before Assyrian hegemony ended, the Assyrians brought the highest civilization to the then known world. From the Caspian to Cyprus, from Anatolia to Egypt, Assyrian imperial expansion would bring into the Assyrian sphere nomadic and barbaric communities, and would bestow the gift of civilization upon them."
Persian empires
From the early 6th century BC onwards, several Persian states dominated the region, beginning with the Medes and non-Persian Neo-Babylonian Empire, then their successor the Achaemenid Empire known as the first Persian Empire, conquered in the late 4th century BC. by the very short-lived Macedonian Empire of Alexander the Great, and then successor kingdoms such as Ptolemaic Egypt and the Seleucid state in Western Asia.
After a century of hiatus, the idea of the Persian Empire was revived by the Central Asian Iranian Parthians in the 3rd century BC—and continued by their successors, the Sassanids from the 3rd century AD. This empire dominated sizable parts of what is now the Asian part of the Middle East, and continue to influence the rest of the Asiatic and African Middle East region, until the Arab Muslim conquest of Persia in the mid-7th century CE. Eastern Rite, Church of the East Christianity took hold in Persian-ruled Mesopotamia, particularly in Assyria from the 1st century AD onwards, and the region became a center of a flourishing Syriac--Assyrian literary tradition.
Roman Empire
In the 1st century BC, the expanding Roman Republic absorbed the whole Eastern Mediterranean, which included much of the Near East. The Roman Empire united the region with most of Europe and North Africa in a single political and economic unit. Even areas not directly annexed were strongly influenced by the Empire, which was the most powerful political and cultural entity for centuries. Though Roman culture spread across the region, the Greek culture and language first established in the region by the Macedonian Empire continued to dominate throughout the Roman period. Cities in the Middle East, especially Alexandria, became major urban centers for the Empire and the region became the Empire's "bread basket" as the key agricultural producer.
As the Christian religion spread throughout the Roman and Persian Empires, it took root in the Middle East, and cities such as Alexandria and Edessa became important centers of Christian scholarship. By the 5th century, Christianity was the dominant religion in the Middle East, with other faiths (gradually including heretical Christian sects) being actively repressed. The Middle East's ties to the city of Rome were gradually severed as the Empire split into East and West, with the Middle East tied to the new Roman capital of Constantinople. The subsequent Fall of the Western Roman Empire therefore, had minimal direct impact on the region.

Origin Of Civilizations P1: IRAQ - The Cradle of Civilization
The Cradle of Civilization
In ancient times the land area now known as modern Iraq was almost equivalent to Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia Map (8KB) the land between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates (in Arabic, the Dijla and Furat, respectively)
Ancient Iraq was home to remarkable achievements. One of the birthplaces of civilization, it saw the world's earliest cities and empires, writing and literature, science and mathematics, monumental art, and innumerable other innovations.
Iraq is the cradle of civilization. It is how we came to be what we are. Mesopotamia was the center of the universe and was the oldest civilization anywhere on this planet.
The land of Iraq is important historically, because it is the land where the first law, the Hamurabi code, was enacted in Babylon thousands of years ago, its where writing was first discovered 5000 years ago at Uruk, and where the seventh wonder of the world, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, is situated.
It is also important religiously, as it has the oldest established church in the world, The Church of the East, founded by St Thomas, one of Christ's 12 disciples. In addition, it has numerous Islamic holy sites such as Karbala, Najaf, and Baghdad. The holy city of Najaf is the study center of theology for the world's 150 million Muslims who follow the Shia tradition.
It is where the two great rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates meet and gave birth to the concept of agriculture. The earliest evidence of animal and plant domestication has been found in and around northern Iraq, dating more than 10,000 years ago.

Lowkey - Cradle of Civilisation ft. Mai Khalil (with lyrics on screen and in description)
Introduction:
I remember when I was growing up, if my mother got angry or frustrated with me, she'd say 'oy shked helwa el horiya' and the basic translation of that is 'oh, how beautiful is freedom', but where is freedom?
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
But where is our freedom?
Verse 1:
This is for Baghdad, the place of my mother's birth
The cradle of civilisation, for what it's worth
The land I've never seen, culture I've never known
Iraq is in my heart, my blood, my flesh and bones
The air I've never breathed, fragrance I've never smelt,
Pride I've never had, the nationality that I've never felt
Saddam was bad, are the Americans even more so?
They made me grow like I was missin' part of my torso
But I never picked up a grenade in my garden
I never saw people I love die starvin'
I never saw my family die through many years of sanctions
While the ruler's family lived in palaces and mansions
I never had a family member kidnapped for a ransom
And never lost a friend to violence that was random
Bombings, occupation, torture, intimidation
A million dead people doesn't equal liberation
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya (listen)
But where is our freedom?
Verse 2:
Forget division based on ethnicity or religion
Whether you're Sunni, Shia, Kurdish or Christian
Pain is still pain if you're a person that's missin'
We all deserve a life in this Earth that we live in
Is there enough words that can say,
How deeply Baghdad is burnin' today?
And it's not about pity, hands out or sympathy
It's about pride, respect, honour and dignity
Babies being born with deformities from uranium
Those babies aren't just Iraqi, they're Mesopotamian
What I view on the news is making me shiver
'Cause I look at the victims, see the same face in the mirror
This system of division makes it harder for you and me
Peace is a question, the only answer is unity
So many dreams about this place that I've never seen,
Place my family had to leave in the 70's
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya (yeah)
But where is our freedom?
Verse 3:
It rains white phosphorus in Fallujah
This is for those that won't live to see the future
Sorry that I wasn't there, sorry that I couldn't help
I'm sorry for every tear, sorry you've been put through hell
Still I feel like an immigrant, Englishman,
Amongst Arabs and an Arab amongst Englishmen
Like I said they never gave me the culture
But they did give me Kubbad Haleb, Hakaka and Dolma
Ana isme Kareem, wa ohmre thalatha wa-'ishrun,
Amee min Baghdad, wa abuya min Dover
And that's the combination that I carry on my shoulders
Still I rep 'til my death, 'til they kill and seal my flesh
From now, all the way back to Gilgamesh
Such a villainized and criticised nation,
Will always be the cradle of civilisation
Chorus:
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Close my eyes; I can still hear my amee saying
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
Oy shked helwa el horiya
But where is our freedom?
Talking:
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
In my sleep, in my dreams, Motherland, I can still feel you calling me
I can still feel you calling me
I can still feel you calling me
