It was called the Cradle of civilization in the world that was known to exist at that time but not beyond what was known by the people of that exclusive region alone. China, India, Africa and the Americas were not such familiar places to the people of the exclusive zone at that time in history. The Chinese, Indians etc knew their history and also knew that they too had their cradles of civilization. Science and History have yet to establish and record if there is any cradle of civilization at all.
