Mesopotamia ~ Week 5

Sample Student Posting:

The textbook describes Mesopotamia as the "Cradle of Civilization." I think that is an odd description. It made me wonder exactly what they mean by "cradle."

Definitions of cradle

So, with those definitions,now I wonder what the book means by "Cradle of Civilization." Take a look at these sites:

Cradle of Civilization

Wikipedia Info

Iraq History

So, use all of this information. What features would an area need in order to give birth to and encourage the growth of a civilization?
