Factors to consider in choosing a farm site?
That all depends on what type of farm you're wanting to run: livestock like cattle, pigs, chickens, etc, crops like corn, wheat, barley, cranberries, potatoes, etc., or a mix of both crop and livestock. Regardless, though, soil, topography, distance from populated areas like towns or cities, and land costs are some of factors to consider in choosing a farm site.

What is the location of early civilizations?
The location of development for many of the earliest civilizations was the Fertile Crescent. This was an area between the Nile Valley and Western Asia. The land here was very fertile and there was a large source of water, both of which are needed to support a population. The rivers that fed into the Fertile Crescent were the Tigris and Euphrates in Asia, and the Nile in Upper and Lower Egypt.
Why is Mesopotamia called the fertile crescent?
Actually, Mesopotamia is only the eastern part of the Fertile crescent. The western part included Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine. It is called the fertile crescent because it is a fertile area in the surrounding desert and mountains, and it is shaped in a crescent. It was given the name Fertile Crescent by archaeologist and historian James Henry Breasted in 1906.Its fertility is because of the Tigris, Euphrates, and Jordan Rivers and their tributaries. Unfortunately much of it lost its fertility over a thousand years ago due to salt buildup in the soil from improper irrigation methods.Mesopotamia is shaped like a crescent and the land was very fertile due to irrigation.Mesopotamia is a crescent-shaped territory and has an area surrounded by two rivers namely Tigris and Euphrates River. Soil, a porous matter, absorbs water. The soil constantly absorbs water from the bodies of water surrounding it, thus, making Mesopotamia both fertile and crescent-like, Fertile Crescent.because its near the water and it made all the soil fertile and it sort of looks like a crescentbecause it was near water and a good area to grow crops(: It was also shaped like a crescent.Ancient Mesopotamia was a fertile place in an area that was largely desert, and it was roughly in the shape of a crescent.

What did the ancient civilizations of Egypt and the Fertile Crescent have in common?
The ancient civilizations of Egypt and the Fertile Crescent (Mesopotamia) had several things in common. Both civilizations emerged around river valleys (Nile in Egypt, Tigris and Euphrates in Fertile Crescent) and relied on agriculture for their economies. They also developed complex social and political systems, built monumental architecture, and engaged in trade and cultural exchange with neighboring regions.
What is the importants of the Fertile Crescent?
The fertile crescent is seen as the first place that man moved from a nomadic lifestyle to a settled lifestyle and began to farm crops intentionally (rather than just moving to where edible plants grew themselves). This is known as the agricultural revolution and is seen as a critical point in the history of mankind. The reason that civilization effectively started in the fertile crescent is complicated and not entirely understood, but it is known as an unusually fertile area of land (hence the name) and located in an area where the vast majority of farmable animals can survive and are available. The pivotal role of the fertile crescent in the development of human civilization is discussed in two excellent books: The Ascent of Man, by Jacob Bronowski and Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond Both of these books have been made into TV documentaries, which I highly recommend if you are interested in this subject.
