Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Even so, Mesopotamia is known as the “cradle of civilization.” That is mostly because of two things that happened in the Mesopotamian region of Sumer around 3000 B.C.– the first city, and the invention of writing. Those were not their only inventions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Writing, math, medicine, libraries, road networks, domesticated animals, spoked wheels, the zodiac, astronomy, looms, plows, the legal system, and even beer making and counting in 60s (kinda handy when telling time). These are just a few of the concepts and ideas invented in Mesopotamia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mesopotamia, 4000-3500 B.C. “Mesopotamia is the earliest urban literate civilization on the globe-and the Sumerians, who established the civilization, established the ground rules, ‘’ says Kenneth Harl, author, consultant and professor emeritus of history at Tulane University.
