Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent (also known as the Cradle of Civilization) is a crescent-shaped region containing the comparatively moist and fertile land of otherwise arid and semi-arid Western Asia, the Nile Valley and Nile Delta. Having originated in the study of ancient history, the concept soon developed and today retains meanings in international geopolitics and diplomatic relations.
In current usage, all definitions of the Fertile Crescent include Mesopotamia, the land in and around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; and the Levant, the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea. The modern-day countries with significant territory within the Fertile Crescent are Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine, beside the southeastern fringe of Turkey and the western fringes of Iran.
The region is often called the cradle of civilization, as it saw the development of some of the earliest human civilizations, which flourished thanks to the water supplies and agricultural resources available in the Fertile Crescent. Technological advances made in the region include the development of writing, glass, the wheel and the use of irrigation.

The history of the Fertile crescent and the rise of civilization. This video covers brief background of the Fertile Crescent and explains the geography of this region.
You can also watch documentary on Mesopotamia here: https://youtu.be/UXsVjVAh46I
The birth of civilization took place in the regions of Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent. This video is a snapshot of vastly rich history of Fertile Crescent followed by another video on Mesopotamia. This video also covers how this land of rivers became the birthplace of the world's first cities and the advancements in subjects like math and science. In brief, It covers the short history of this region.
The Fertile Crescent - Where Fertile means a land or soil capable to produce crops. And! Crescent means curved sickle shaped moon. The whole term “Fertile Crescent” means a half moon shaped land capable of producing crops. Mesopotamia was also the part of Fertile Crescent.
On a map, the Fertile Crescent looks like a quarter moon and it covers many countries including Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. Few historians include Cyprus as well.
Ancient Iraq (Mesopotamia) and Egypt hold more significance than any other country because early civilizations arose around these parts of Fertile Crescent. Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians lived in Mesopotamian Iraq and the ancient Egyptian civilization survived on the banks of Nile. This is why this region is also known as Cradle of Civilizations.
Fertile Crescent has vast meaning. The fertility of this crescent is not just about the land, but it also refers to the richness of the innovative ideas of the people who lived in this region. This area was the birthplace of various technological innovations like potter’s wheel, the first agricultural system, the first irrigation system, writing, mathematics and much more.
This whole area of fertile crescent contained fertile soil. River Nile, Euphrates and Tigris supplied the productive freshwaters to brackish wetlands. These produced a plenty of wild edible plant species.
The term Fertile Crescent was coined by an American archeologist James Henry Breasted in one of his books “Ancient Times a History of Early World” in 1914.
Sadly, the Fertile Crescent is not so fertile today. Few years ago, some large-scale irrigation projects diverted water away from the famous Mesopotamian marshes of the Tigris-Euphrates river system, causing them to dry up.

Today's Daily Dose short history film covers Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent. The filmmaker has included the original voice over script to further assist your understanding:
Today on The Daily Dose, Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent.
In ancient Greek, the word Mesopotamia means between two rivers, which is exactly where Mesopotamian life, culture and progress flourished for 6,000 years. Part of the Fertile Crescent, the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers spans modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, the southeastern region of Turkey and the western fringes of Iran. Even at its peek existence, Mesopotamia was less unified than other ancient civilizations such as Egypt or Greece, embodying a lattice work of different cultures that loosely shared the same gods and attitudes toward women. It was home to some of the very first empires in human history, including the Acadian, Babylonian and Assyrian sovereignties.
The region of Summa comprised the southeastern part of Mesopotamia, and in the fourth millennium BCE, the Sumerians, as the locals were known, struck upon two major developments which forever handed the region the honor of being known as the cradle of civilization. First was the development of agriculture, irrigation and animal husbandry, which in turn created the modern concept of the city state. The region is further credited with the invention of the wheel, the early distillation of beer and wine, the invention of the chariot, the demarcation of time in hours, minutes and seconds, along with the development of sophisticated weaponry and advanced warfare techniques. As Fertile Crescent merchants began trading with outside communities, the Mesopotamians invented writing to aid in long distance communication, which in turn prompted urbanization and the birth of cities. Schools in Mesopotamia were numerous, routinely teaching astrology, law, medicine, religion, reading and writing. In Mesopotamia, women were nearly equal to men, allowing them to file for divorce, own land and own their own businesses.
Combined with an abundance of food and a growing string of successful city states, Mesopotamia’s ever-burgeoning population began to spread out across the globe in search of additional fertile lands and opportunity, spreading humanity throughout the world as the Fertile Crescent itself became desert-like due to climate change. Today, only 10 percent of the Fertile Crescent’s once viable ecosystem remains, making the Fertile Crescent an important yet temporary lifeboat for the migration of humans across the globe.
And there you have it, Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent, today on The Daily Dose.

The region of Summa comprised the southeastern part of Mesopotamia, and in the fourth millennium BCE, the Sumerians, as the locals were known, struck upon two major developments which forever handed the region the honor of being known as the cradle of civilization. First was the development of agriculture, irrigation and animal husbandry, which in turn created the modern concept of the city state. The region is further credited with the invention of the wheel, the early distillation of beer and wine, the invention of the chariot, the demarcation of time in hours, minutes and seconds, along with the development of sophisticated weaponry and advanced warfare techniques. As Fertile Crescent merchants began trading with outside communities, the Mesopotamians invented writing to aid in long distance communication, which in turn prompted urbanization and the birth of cities. Schools in Mesopotamia were numerous, routinely teaching astrology, law, medicine, religion, reading and writing. In Mesopotamia, women were nearly equal to men, allowing them to file for divorce, own land and own their own businesses.
Combined with an abundance of food and a growing string of successful city states, Mesopotamia’s ever-burgeoning population began to spread out across the globe in search of additional fertile lands and opportunity, spreading humanity throughout the world as the Fertile Crescent itself became desert-like due to climate change. Today, only 10 percent of the Fertile Crescent’s once viable ecosystem remains, making the Fertile Crescent an important yet temporary lifeboat for the migration of humans across the globe.

Mesopotamia, the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, is known as the cradle of civilization and the fertile crescent because it was here that some of mankind’s most important cities and earliest civilizations were founded. It was located in modern-day Iraq, southeast Turkey, northeast Syria and Kuwait, and existed during the same time as ancient Egypt. Mesopotamia had one of the first writing systems in history, as well as mathematics and astronomy. The area also saw the rise of some of history’s most influential rulers and conquerors, including Hammurabi, Sargon I and Alexander the Great.
This video covers the brief history of Ancient Mesopotamia and then discusses how it relates to modern culture and the present-day Middle East.

On our third stop on our tour of the historical and archaeological sites of Turkey we visit the ancient ruins of Harran. With a history dating back several thousand years, this ancient archaeological site has seen the occupations of the Mesopotamians, Romans, and the last stand of the Assyrian Empire. It saw the construction of the first university during the Islamic Golden Age and a persistent culture around astrology from ancient moon cults to academic observatories.
Together we will navigate these ancient towers and gables to uncover the secrets of the ancient archaeological history of the city of Harran.

Mesopotamia is an ancient region in the Middle East, east of the Mediterranean by the Zagros mountains, between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates. The name ‘Mesopotamia’ comes from the Greek meaning ‘between two rivers’. The region is now known as Iraq but once included some parts of modern-day Iran, Syria, and Turkey. This area is also known as the Fertile Crescent, and as the Cradle of Civilization.
This video is a small snapshot of the vastly rich history of #Mesopotamia, which a small introduction to some of the key names from this time. From this short introduction, it will be very clear how much the modern city - and culture overall - have to thank Mesopotamia for!

The history of the Fertile crescent and the rise of civilization. This video covers brief background of the Fertile Crescent and explains the geography of this region.
You can also watch documentary on Mesopotamia here: https://youtu.be/UXsVjVAh46I
The birth of civilization took place in the regions of Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent. This video is a snapshot of vastly rich history of Fertile Crescent followed by another video on Mesopotamia. This video also covers how this land of rivers became the birthplace of the world's first cities and the advancements in subjects like math and science. In brief, It covers the short history of this region.
The Fertile Crescent - Where Fertile means a land or soil capable to produce crops. And! Crescent means curved sickle shaped moon. The whole term “Fertile Crescent” means a half moon shaped land capable of producing crops. Mesopotamia was also the part of Fertile Crescent.
On a map, the Fertile Crescent looks like a quarter moon and it covers many countries including Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. Few historians include Cyprus as well.
Ancient Iraq (Mesopotamia) and Egypt hold more significance than any other country because early civilizations arose around these parts of Fertile Crescent. Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians lived in Mesopotamian Iraq and the ancient Egyptian civilization survived on the banks of Nile. This is why this region is also known as Cradle of Civilizations.
Fertile Crescent has vast meaning. The fertility of this crescent is not just about the land, but it also refers to the richness of the innovative ideas of the people who lived in this region. This area was the birthplace of various technological innovations like potter’s wheel, the first agricultural system, the first irrigation system, writing, mathematics and much more.
This whole area of fertile crescent contained fertile soil. River Nile, Euphrates and Tigris supplied the productive freshwaters to brackish wetlands. These produced a plenty of wild edible plant species.
The term Fertile Crescent was coined by an American archeologist James Henry Breasted in one of his books “Ancient Times a History of Early World” in 1914.
Sadly, the Fertile Crescent is not so fertile today. Few years ago, some large-scale irrigation projects diverted water away from the famous Mesopotamian marshes of the Tigris-Euphrates river system, causing them to dry up.

Today's Daily Dose short history film covers Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent. The filmmaker has included the original voice over script to further assist your understanding:
Today on The Daily Dose, Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent.
In ancient Greek, the word Mesopotamia means between two rivers, which is exactly where Mesopotamian life, culture and progress flourished for 6,000 years. Part of the Fertile Crescent, the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers spans modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, the southeastern region of Turkey and the western fringes of Iran. Even at its peek existence, Mesopotamia was less unified than other ancient civilizations such as Egypt or Greece, embodying a lattice work of different cultures that loosely shared the same gods and attitudes toward women. It was home to some of the very first empires in human history, including the Acadian, Babylonian and Assyrian sovereignties.
The region of Summa comprised the southeastern part of Mesopotamia, and in the fourth millennium BCE, the Sumerians, as the locals were known, struck upon two major developments which forever handed the region the honor of being known as the cradle of civilization. First was the development of agriculture, irrigation and animal husbandry, which in turn created the modern concept of the city state. The region is further credited with the invention of the wheel, the early distillation of beer and wine, the invention of the chariot, the demarcation of time in hours, minutes and seconds, along with the development of sophisticated weaponry and advanced warfare techniques. As Fertile Crescent merchants began trading with outside communities, the Mesopotamians invented writing to aid in long distance communication, which in turn prompted urbanization and the birth of cities. Schools in Mesopotamia were numerous, routinely teaching astrology, law, medicine, religion, reading and writing. In Mesopotamia, women were nearly equal to men, allowing them to file for divorce, own land and own their own businesses.
Combined with an abundance of food and a growing string of successful city states, Mesopotamia’s ever-burgeoning population began to spread out across the globe in search of additional fertile lands and opportunity, spreading humanity throughout the world as the Fertile Crescent itself became desert-like due to climate change. Today, only 10 percent of the Fertile Crescent’s once viable ecosystem remains, making the Fertile Crescent an important yet temporary lifeboat for the migration of humans across the globe.
And there you have it, Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent, today on The Daily Dose.

Mesopotamia, the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, is known as the cradle of civilization and the fertile crescent because it was here that some of mankind’s most important cities and earliest civilizations were founded. It was located in modern-day Iraq, southeast Turkey, northeast Syria and Kuwait, and existed during the same time as ancient Egypt. Mesopotamia had one of the first writing systems in history, as well as mathematics and astronomy. The area also saw the rise of some of history’s most influential rulers and conquerors, including Hammurabi, Sargon I and Alexander the Great.

Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent (also known as the Cradle of Civilization) is a crescent-shaped region containing the comparatively moist and fertile land of otherwise arid and semi-arid Western Asia, the Nile Valley and Nile Delta. Having originated in the study of ancient history, the concept soon developed and today retains meanings in international geopolitics and diplomatic relations.
In current usage, all definitions of the Fertile Crescent include Mesopotamia, the land in and around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; and the Levant, the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea. The modern-day countries with significant territory within the Fertile Crescent are Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine, beside the southeastern fringe of Turkey and the western fringes of Iran.
The region is often called the cradle of civilization, as it saw the development of some of the earliest human civilizations, which flourished thanks to the water supplies and agricultural resources available in the Fertile Crescent. Technological advances made in the region include the development of writing, glass, the wheel and the use of irrigation.

Fertile Crescent
by: Bad ReligionCome and see the brilliant light
don't let your emotions mask your sight
it's the manifestation of a deeper fight
that affects me and you
my optimism was running high
a new world order was on my mind
but I couldn't belive it when I heard them say
they're blowing it away
and the fertile crescent is burning today
and baby my emotions are too
the cradle of humanity has led us all astray
and we're all in this tigether don't you know
'cause our species has nowhere else to go
aggression rears its ugly head
retaliation brings further dread
the two are linked by unseen threads
that wind back through time
I don't agree with the outdated trend
nationalism is an evil friend
but hatred is instilled by invisible lines
drawn in our minds
and the fertile crescent is haunting us today
and baby our instincts are too
the ghost of humanity is warning us this way
and I think we all should need it don't you know
