Unit Essay: The Cradle of Civilization
In order to get credit for this project you must write an essay on the following topic:
The Cradle of Civilization
By 2,000 BC the civilizations of the Fertile Crescent were similar, fairly stable, and civilization had at that point existed for more than a thousand years. The Fertile Crescent appears to be the first area that the Neolithic Revolution took hold and dominated society, and the civilizations of the Fertile Crescent set many of the basic patterns for civilization, which is why historians often call the region, "The Cradle of Civilization". Consider some of the civilizations and developments that you have learned about in your lessons for this unit, and write a five-paragraph essay of 600 or more words explaining why the Fertile Crescent could be called "The Cradle of Civilization."Â
