4. Why do you think some of the first complex civilizations (Sumerian, Akkadian,
Babylonian and Egyptian) formed in the area known as the fertile crescent?
A valid reason some of the first complex civilizations formed in Fertile Crescent is
the fertile soil in Mesopotamia. Also, because of the expansion of irrigation, the
civilizations grew when the farming and agriculture blossomed. To explain, the Fertile
Crescent was an excellent place to settle down because they would not have to worry
about not having food since the soil was fertile. Lastly, it also had water bodies to fish in,
other animals around to hunt, and berries to gather.
