The Phoenicians
The Phoenician society, located in the eastern Mediterranean coastal region of the Fertile Crescent, developed an alphabet that served as the basis for the Greek alphabet. The Phoenician alphabet consisted of 22 consonant symbols, which were adopted and modified by the Greeks to incorporate vowel sounds as well. This Greek alphabet, in turn, became the foundation for the Latin alphabet used in many Western languages today.
Agriculture was born in the fertile crescent and was the reason that civilizations were able to develop more rapidly there than in Europe. Farming and crop growing and herding/raising of animals enabled people to settle in one place and develop cities, cultures and all the other traits that we associate with civilization. Europe had a much different geography. There were dense forests, hills and mountains and seasonal climate changes. This type of landscape was more able to support a hunter/gather society rather than an agricultural one. When the Europeans developed their agriculture, then they developed their civilizations.More Rainfall.In the fertile crescent, the land was fertile, which meant that the land was excellent for farming.

The lands of the Fertile Crescent (Egypt, Mesopotamia) were important because the ability to grow sufficient food meant the development of some of the first advanced civilizations in the world. These areas represented the beginnings of modern science, religion, and society.
The phoenician alphabet developed sometime prior to 1050 BCE, though no one knows the exact date. It developed because society became too complex to resort to memorization of information.
The ascent of 'civilized' society had much to do with the change from hunting and gathering for food to agriculture. As it happens, the first known people to make that change were Natufian tribes who lived in the area that is now Israel and Lebanon. The sedentary lifestyle, the switch to agriculture and the building of villages and later on of cities spread from there, and into the fertile crescent for the very reason that is WAS fertile and very suitable for agriculture.
Pakistan Red Crescent Society was created in 1947.
Somali Red Crescent Society was created in 1963.
Bangladesh Red Crescent Society was created in 1973.
