Middle East (formerly Mesopotamian plain) was known as The Cradle of Civilization
In ancient times the land area now known as modern Iraq was almost equivalent to Mesopotamia, the land between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates (in Arabic, the Dijla and Furat, respectively), the Mesopotamian plain was called the Fertile Crescent. This region is known as the Cradle of Civilization; was the birthplace of the varied civilizations that moved us from prehistory to history. An advanced civilization flourished in this region long before that of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, for it was here in about 4000BC that the Sumerian culture flourished .

It's in the Middle East, or rather in between the Tigris and Euphrates.
I'm not sure I like this answer, since there is a possibly older civilization, Harappo, in India.
Also, the Middle East is a very vague term, making some people think of the Levantine, from Sinai to Lebanon. Others think of Palestine or Israel. The US military qualifies Iraq, where the Fertile Crescent-- the region between the Tigris and the Euphrates where Assyria and Babylonia once ruled-- as Southwest Asia.
You're not one of those students trying to get us to do your homework or help you cheat on a computer based test, are you? For shame if you are!
