The earliest civilizations are often referred to as "cradles of civilization." This nickname highlights their role as foundational societies where significant advancements in agriculture, writing, and governance first emerged. Notable examples include Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, the Indus Valley, and early Chinese civilizations. These regions laid the groundwork for future human development and cultural evolution.
Asia is often referred to as the "continent of contrasts" due to its vast size and diverse cultures, landscapes, and economies. This nickname highlights the significant variations in climate, language, religion, and development found across the continent. Additionally, Asia is sometimes called the "cradle of civilization" because it is believed to be the birthplace of several ancient civilizations, including those in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and China.
Mesopotamia is the area between the Euphrates and the Tigris. It literally means 'between the rivers'. The Fertile Crescent is a crescent-shaped area that stretches from the Mediterranean coast along the Euphrates and the Tigris to the Persian Gulf.
I have seen the Anasazi referred to as 'the old ones.'
I am unaware of a nickname given to Europe. The only example I can think of is the Old World (but this also includes Asia and Africa). These continents are called the Old World because this is where "civilization" started.
Alaska got the nickname The Final Frontier partly because it was one of the last places that were almost inhabitant by westerners. It was also because it was full of nature and hardly touched by modern civilization.
