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.

Why is the crescent moon on the c ration box?
I can only assume that the new moon represents a C for C rations. All I know is I never want to eat another one as long as I live. IMPROVING ANSWER: Could it be that this "red Crescent" symbol means that the meal is OK for observant Muslims to eat? The Red Crescent is like the Red Cross for the Muslim world. Military C-rations are often given to needy civilians in times of disaster, war, etc <><><> It DEFINITELY does NOT mean that the meal is halal (complies with dietary rules of Islam) nor that it is Kosher- many of the meals are not. And I would note that C Rations were replaced by the MRE about 15 years ago. The crescent moon symbol is simply the symbol used for all military rations, just as there is a symbol for ammunition, a symbol for medical supplies, and a symbol for POL (petrol)
