Rivers Support the Growth of Civilization
Early people settled where crops could grow.
Grew well near rivers.
Southwest Asia was well suited for farming
![Page 9: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LocationMesopotamia is between Asia Minor
and the Persian Gulf as well.

The Fertile Crescent
Fertile crescent is a large arc or crescent of fertile farmland.
Extends to Persian Gulf and Mediterranean Sea.
(In ancient times) Mesopotamia was in two parts
![Page 11: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Rise of Civilization
Hunter-gatherer first settled in Mesopotamia more than 12,000 years ago.
Learned to plant crops and grow their own food.
![Page 12: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rise of Civilization (Continued)
Every year the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flooded.
Brought silt. Silt- Mixture of rich soil
and tiny rocks Ideal for farming
![Page 13: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rivers of Life
Tigris and Euphrates were the source of life for the people of MesopotamiaSupplied fish Reeds for making boatsClay for building
![Page 14: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Farming Settlements First farm settlements
in Mesopotamia about 7000 B.C.
Farmers grew wheat, barely, and other grains.
Livestock were also good sources of food.
Plentiful food = population growth.
![Page 15: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Farming Settlements Continued
Population growth= villages form.Villages develop into world's first
civilization
![Page 16: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Farming and Cities
Mesopotamia received little rain Water levels in Mesopotamia depended on
how much rain fell in eastern Asia Minor If Water got too high floods destroyed
crops, killed livestock, and destroyed homes.
Water level too low crops dried Farmers needed to control river’s flow.
![Page 17: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rivers of Death
Tigris and Euphrates also sometimes brought flood watersDeposited good soil
Flood waters did not come at the same time every yearPeople were swept
awayAlso houses and
animals
![Page 18: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Controlling Water
To solve their problems Mesopotamians used irrigation
Irrigation is a way of supplying water to an area of land.
To irrigate land farmers dug storage basins to hold water supplies.
![Page 19: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Controlling Water
People dug canals human-made waterways.
Canals connected basins to a network of ditches
Ditches brought water to fields To protect fields from flooding farmers
built up banks Built up banks held flood-water back
when river levels were too high
![Page 20: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Food SurplusesIrrigation increased the amount
of food farmers producedA surplus or more than of an
item was developed.Farmers Used irrigation to
water grazing areas for cattle
![Page 21: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Food Surpluses (Continued)
As a result to food surpluses Mesopotamians ate many foods
Mesopotamians ate fish, meat, wheat, barely, and dates
![Page 22: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dividing Labor
Fewer people farmed because of irrigation
People started doing other jobsNew occupations developedThe type of arrangement where
each worker specializes in a particular task is division of labor
![Page 23: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mesopotamian Society
With more job occupations society accomplished more
Large projects such as constructing buildings were started
Projects required skilled workers Structure and rules provided by
government
![Page 24: Geography of the Fertile Crescent Unit 2 Chapter 3 Section 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551445be5503466d1a8b5a44/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Appearance of Cities
