One of the most important inventions that came out of the fertile crescent was written language by the Sumerians (Sumer - Present day Iraq). Prior to this there is no known written language predating that of Sumerian texts (Cuneiform script).

The fertile crescent was also home to the birth of modern day agriculture and the domestication of goats, sheep, and grains.

The region is also where complex societies and governments first arose.

Why did civilizations first arise along the Fertile Crescent?

The fertile soil led to crop production. That allowed a population to grow in the area which was the beginning of a civilization. The larger population with a stable source of food attracted others, some of whom only wanted to take food without work or payment. The populace had to band together for protection, establish a policing force, which required food/payment/taxes, with a leader. This eventually grew into a full fledged civilization.
