The fertile Crescent is a boomerang-shaped territory from the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. The best farmlands were between the Tigris and the Eufrates Rivers, people settled down there and started to build an irrigation system so that they could use the annual floodings and the fertile silt that the rivers left behind. This territory was called Mesopotamia - between rivers - by the Greeks.
The Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent is a historical region in the Middle East, often described as a crescent-shaped area that stretches from the eastern Mediterranean coast, including modern-day Israel and Lebanon, through western Syria and into Mesopotamia, which encompasses parts of modern-day Iraq, Iran, and Turkey. It is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the Persian Gulf to the southeast. This region is known for its rich soils and early agricultural development.
