The fertile river valleys produced a surplus of food, increased population and river transport for trade. This produced leisure time and people to encourage building of cities, a civic structure and cultural activities.
Control of the rivers brought in rich and fertile soil. They took advantage of this to create agriculture.It benehit poop you idiiots!No, it didn't. It benefitted silt, a fine, sandy soil. This helped their crops grow. They controlled the river by building walls around their city-states.
Ancient Mesopotamia dealt with the unpredictable rivers by building irrigation ditches and canals to carry the water from the rivers to their fields during the dry summer months. They also built ways to store water and to drain the water when the rivers flooded. Since the Euphrates river is higher than the Tigris, they also designed a way to use the Euphrates River as the water supply and the Tigris channel as a drain.
The first empire in Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia means "land between rivers," and the presence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers enabled farming and herding sheep and goats that wouldn't be possible in nearby dry and mountainous regions. The lack of building materials led to a culture of trading agricultural products, and marshlands in the south support a fishing culture.

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.

It was suited for the growth because they created things like farming and irrigation (it means a way to grow crops by building walls in front of ditches near the rivers so when the water flows heavily the can lift or move the walls and water will flow in so they can grow food). Also the artisans made things out of metal, cloth and clay.
Maya civilization
Egypt and Mesopotamia did not have much timber or forested land. Both regions relied heavily on their respective rivers, the Nile and the Tigris-Euphrates, for resources and construction materials. As a result, they often used mud bricks and reeds for building, and traded with neighboring areas for wood. This scarcity influenced their architecture and the development of their societies.
Kings in Mesopotamia protected their cities by building a Wall around their cities.
