Mesopotamia, ancient greek for land between rivers, is the term used to designate the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern day Syria and Iraq. Mesopotamia was the first place that humans constructed a fixed settlement, and maked the end of Nomadic cultures.
Nomadic cultues began to settle down once agriculture was discoverd. It was a far more efficient way of producing food than hunting or gathering. The earlist fixed human settlements then, were comprable to farms, and the fertile and easily irrigated land between two rivers is the perfect place for a farm.
Since farming produced so much more food than hunting and gathering the settlers eventually had hore food than they needed. This let people turn to other professions and led to the creation of technology and civilisation.
