which place is known as the cradle of civilization ?

Question

a: soudi arabia
b: africa
c: india
d: egypt

Answer 1

Egypt

Answer 2

The cradle of civilization is from the people of Sumer, the Sumerians, which were in the Middle East around an area called the Fertile Crescent, around the convergence or joining of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers before the change of the riverbeds through various floodings. They are considered the first civilized region because there is where the oldest cities, populated area and laws of organization were formed. All other groups that civilized did so after the Sumerians in Asia, Europe, and Africa, including the Saudi Arabians and the Egyptians.

Answer 3

Cradle of Civilization is a title claimed by many regions of the world, but is most often applied by Western and Midle Eastern educated scholars to the ancient city states of Mesopotamia. Scholars educated in other parts of the world look at the question differently. There are four rivers that scholars cite as being possible sites for the 'Cradle of Civilization.' They are: the Tigris-Euphrates in modern day Iraq, the Nile in Africa, the Indus in South Asia, and the Huang-He-Yangtze in China.

The civilizations that emerged around these rivers are among the earliest currently known attempts humanity made at establishing non-nomadic agrarian societies and they all date back thousands of years.

The convergence of the Tigres and Euphraetes Rivers produced rich fertile soil and a supply of water for irrigation causing this particular region to be referred to as the Fertile Crescent. However, it is clear that similar conditions in other fertile river locations prompted nomadic people in that given region to form a sedentary, agrarian community and thus, also become a first "Cradle of Civilization." It is not clear where the actual beginning took place or whether there were many beginnings in many locations so that mankind's societal development cannot be attributed to only one primary location.

Answer 4

Based on the choices given, the best one is Saudi Arabia even though the whole of the Middle East is considered the "cradle of civilization". This is where we see the first cites, monarchies (governments) and agriculture. Africa is where the human species began but not where we see evidence of complex societies as we do in the Middle East...although who knows? The societies of the first of the homo genus could have been more complex than we originally thought.

Answer 5

Actually the cradle of civilization is Mesopotamia... the valley between the Tigris and Euphretes Rivers... ya know, where Bagdhad is?

Africa is generally considered the cradle of humanity, but not Egypt.

Answer 6

Africa was the place where human society first appeared.

For those who answered Mesopotamia; that is the Fertile Crescent, where the first large civilizations appeared in the Eastern Hemisphere.

And please, for the love of all that is holy, learn how to spell correctly!Or at least use spell check!

Answer 7

None of the above. It is supposedly the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which I covers parts of Iran, Iraq and Syria. Not many people realise the historical signifigance of Iraq, they just think of Saddam Hussein and the Oil.

Answer 8

Actually none of the above. That title is most commonly used to refer to the lands surrounding the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.

Answer 9

Mesopotamia

Answer 10

India
