Mesopotamia
To fathom the Middle East and its varied history, one should get an insight into the roots of Eastern civilization. The Ancient Near East history begins with states coming into existence. State is a term to denote the type of societal organization in which some of its members form a special group and take control over the society. This stage of development in its turn produces common attributes of civilization such as writing and cities, for example.
The above mentioned organization of society was originated in the Ancient Near East - in Egypt and Mesopotamia; the strong incentive for integration of people was irrigation - agricultural practices that required united efforts.
Just watch the video about Mesopotamia and find some useful and interesting facts about one of the "cradles of civilization".
