It is called that because it is the place that nomadic tribes began building villages, becoming civilized with a language and rules, and starting modern society.

The lands between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers supported some of the earliest organized human settlements, which eventually evolved into a complex of towns and cities.

In other words people there built stationary dwellings that were meant to survive beyond a human generation, if not several generations, as opposed to a temporary dwelling meant only to last no more than a season. Generally, this was the main difference being from hunter-gatherer/nomadic and agrarian or "civilized" societies. The arguments are based on archaeological remains of buildings and artifacts that have been recognized as supporting these theories. Evidence supports such settlements from at least 5000 BC, giving rise to the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian civilizations. These were some of the earliest known civilizations in which human habitation takes on an a highly complex and organized state of affairs, akin to modern cities, as opposed to mere villages or towns.

However, sites of similar ages are found around the Indus valley, and in Egypt.

(see the related links section for information regarding the Indus Vally and the Mehrgarh Period I -- both of which were located in the same region.)

Egypt

Ostensibly, Mesopotamia is not the "cradle of civilization."

The Nile Valley Civilization, present day Egypt and Ethiopia, is recognized by the scientific communities of egyptologists, anthropologists, and archaeologists as the cradle of civilization. The concept of social order and the concept of an organized society came out of the Nile Valley Civilization before there was any other society known to man functioning any other place in the world.

The significance of the Nile Valley Civilization is that it was that civilization that set a standard of performance untouched by the other civilizations of the world. The Nile valley stretches 4000 miles into the physical body of Africa and the Nile River was the first cultural highway.
