The cradle is where you put a baby. This is comparing Mesopotamia to a place where a person's life started. You could also say it is the womb of civilization.

Why did Assyria live were they did?
I would first like to say that "Assyria" is a nation; "Assyrians" are the people. Assyrians came about after the Babylonians and Sumerians, which settled in the Mesopotamian area in modern Iraq due to its advantages in fertility for farming. Surrounded by desert wasteland, Mesopotamia was like a safe haven or Oasis. It is then commonly referred to as the "cradle of civilization".
Which civilization started first?
Though many say it was the Indians, many forget that they were the first religion. The first civilization were the Sumerians of Mesopotamia. Many others may have been considered earlier, but they may have just started a few centuries or so after wards.
How important was Mesopotamia?
The least we can say is it is very important , most scholars say it is the "Cradle of Civilization" Many things were first invented in Mesopotamia such as writing, the wheel, the first laws, the first libary, the first cities and much more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mesopotamia is most important because it laid the groundwork for civilizations to exist. Prior to Mesopotamia, all cultures were nomadic hunter/gatherers. Settling in one area was impossible because irrigation had not yet been invented -- forcing societies to roam the lands for whatever food they could find. By settling between the Tigres and Euphrates river, Mesopotamians were able to irrigate crops, and create a sustainable drainage system. This allowed for a stable production of food, making the nomad way obsolete. This paved the way for the Mesopotamians to focus on other important aspects such as a writing system, laws, etc.
