Best Answer

Mesopotamia is a place, not a civilization. There have been numerous civilizations in Mesopotamia which have met their own downfalls for very different reasons ranging from over-expansion, to invasion, to internal strife, to food shortages.

Mesopotamia as a region became less relevant as the center of civilization shifted towards Europe and the region as a whole became less fertile. (This was offset between 800-1200 C.E. when Baghdad became one of the foremost cities in the world.)

The one down fall was the amount of fertile land. Everyone who was a farmer wanted that land for their crops. Also there is another one, floods. Before they had irrigation there would be a lot of floods.

mesopotamia eventually died out because their irrigation system deposited too much mineral salt to their crops which caused people to leave.
