Best Answer

The first known cities were built in Mesopotamia in modern-day Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey and southwestern Iran. Mesopotamia is considered to be the Birth place of Civilization. the Cities and empires that rose up in Mesopotamia include Sumeria, Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires which all began as smal cities.These cities can be found in the Biblical book of Genesis.

Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

Genesis 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel (city of babylon), and Erech, and Accad (Akkadia), and Calneh, in the land of Shinar (city of sumer or Sumerians).

Genesis 10:11 Out of that land went forth Asshur (Assyria or Assyrians), and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

The Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians dominated Mesopotamia from the beginning of written history (c. 3100 BC) until the fall of Babylon in 539 BC, when it was conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It fell to Alexander the great in 332 BC and after his death it became part of the Greek Seleucid Empire./your mom lol XD
