The cities of Mesopotamia along with Egypt are the oldest civilizations in the world. History begins here. This is where writing starts. Most likely to record events and inventory. This is where agriculture begins. The earliest towns were here in the Fertile Cresent. Probably to serve as market places. The first trade routes. The basis of our Judeo-Christian concepts begins here. For instance the Biblical story of "Noah and the Flood" has its origins in the "Tale of Gilgamesh". Abraham, the first Jew, was from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia. I hope that this has been a help to you.
