“the fertile crescent”

.

(the fertile crescent (also known as the “cradle of civilization”) is a crescent-shaped region containing the comparatively moist and fertile land of otherwise arid and semi-arid “western asia”, the “nile valley” and “nile delta”)

(having originated in the study of ancient history, the concept soon developed and today retains meanings in international geopolitics and diplomatic relations)

(in current usage, all definitions of the “fertile crescent” include “mesopotamia”, the land in and around the “tigris” and “euphrates” rivers; and the “levant”, the eastern coast of the “mediterranean sea”)

(the modern-day countries with significant territory within the “fertile crescent” are “iraq”, “syria”, “lebanon”, “jordan”, “israel”, “palestine”, “egypt”, beside the southeastern fringe of “turkey” and the western fringes of “iran”)

(the region is often called the “cradle of civilization”, as it saw the development of some of the earliest human civilizations, which flourished thanks to the water supplies and agricultural resources available in the “fertile crescent”)

(technological advances made in the region include the development of writing, glass, the wheel, agriculture, and the use of ‘irrigation’)
