How did mesopotamian civilization begin?

Answer 1

Mesopotamian civilization started when the rivers in Mesopotamia would flood. The two rivers that surrounded the area were the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. When the water would flood, it created fertile soil. The soil provided a great surplus of food. With this surplus, people could settle in the village. When people realized that they could depend on this food source for food, the settlements started to get bigger and bigger. They started to turn into towns and cities. With this surplus of food came an increase in the population. Later, the civilizations began to organize themselves by job. This city started off as a small farming village and then it started irrigation. Villages that were far from the rivers now had a stable food supply. This, allowed increases in the number of people who lived in each settlement. The technology of irrigation was a big part of Mesopotamian civilization.
