The Sumerian civilization developed between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, an area known as Mesopotamia, due to the fertile land created by the annual flooding of these rivers. This fertile soil, known as alluvium, supported agriculture, enabling the growth of crops and the establishment of stable communities. Access to water facilitated irrigation, trade, and transportation, leading to economic prosperity and the development of complex societies. The unique geographical features of the region provided both resources and challenges, fostering innovation in farming and governance.
