The Jordan River, the Euphrates River, and the Tigris Rivers.
In ancient Greek, Mesopotamia means "land between the rivers". this refers to the fact that it is located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. is that what you mean? NOO The Fertile Crescent, silly!
According to my history book that was updated in 2000, the three important city-states of the Fertile Crescent were Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon.

The Fertile Crescent's borders are largelly on land as it sits within the borders of Syria, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia. But the Meaditeranean Sea, the Gulf of Acaba (the right side of the upper Red Sea) and the Persian Gulf do make up part of the Crescent's perimiter.
The middle east was called the crossroads of the world because it was the meeting of three continents- Asia, Africa, and Europe
There were three social classes in the Fertile Crescent region. The top class consisted of kings, priests, and wealthy land owners. The middle class was made up of skilled labor, merchants, and farmers. The bottom class was made up of slaves.
The three areas within the Fertile Crescent that were home to early civilizations are Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, and the Levant. Mesopotamia, situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, is known for the rise of Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon. Ancient Egypt developed along the Nile River, flourishing with its own complex society and culture. The Levant, encompassing modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, was a crossroads for trade and cultural exchange, hosting various city-states and cultures.

Two locations in the area called the Fertile Crescent are considered the birthplace of modern western civilization. Both areas are close to rivers which seasonally overflow into the surrounding land depositing fertile topsoil and moisture onto an otherwise dry, arid area. It provided for excellent farming land to feed people living there.The Nile River carried silt from Africa in the south into what became the Nile Valley and the Nile delta where the Egyptian Civilization was formed.The area between and around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers allowed the Mesopotamian civilization to flourish. The two rivers brought fertile material from its source in the mountains in the north.The location of the Fertile Crescent at the juncture of three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia) made the area a central meeting point for trade routes and also place where information and knowledge could be exchanged from other areas of the known world.
