Two locations in the area called the Fertile Crescent are considered the birthplace of modern western civilization. Both areas are close to rivers which seasonally overflow into the surrounding land depositing fertile topsoil and moisture onto an otherwise dry, arid area. It provided for excellent farming land to feed people living there.
- The Nile River carried silt from Africa in the south into what became the Nile Valley and the Nile delta where the Egyptian Civilization was formed.
- The area between and around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers allowed the Mesopotamian civilization to flourish. The two rivers brought fertile material from its source in the mountains in the north.
The location of the Fertile Crescent at the juncture of three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia) made the area a central meeting point for trade routes and also place where information and knowledge could be exchanged from other areas of the known world.
