Why is Mesopotamia called the fertile crescent?
Actually, Mesopotamia is only the eastern part of the Fertile crescent. The western part included Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine. It is called the fertile crescent because it is a fertile area in the surrounding desert and mountains, and it is shaped in a crescent. It was given the name Fertile Crescent by archaeologist and historian James Henry Breasted in 1906.Its fertility is because of the Tigris, Euphrates, and Jordan Rivers and their tributaries. Unfortunately much of it lost its fertility over a thousand years ago due to salt buildup in the soil from improper irrigation methods.Mesopotamia is shaped like a crescent and the land was very fertile due to irrigation.Mesopotamia is a crescent-shaped territory and has an area surrounded by two rivers namely Tigris and Euphrates River. Soil, a porous matter, absorbs water. The soil constantly absorbs water from the bodies of water surrounding it, thus, making Mesopotamia both fertile and crescent-like, Fertile Crescent.because its near the water and it made all the soil fertile and it sort of looks like a crescentbecause it was near water and a good area to grow crops(: It was also shaped like a crescent.Ancient Mesopotamia was a fertile place in an area that was largely desert, and it was roughly in the shape of a crescent.
