Hunter-gatherer groups first settled in Mesotamia more than 12000 years ago. Over time these people learned how to plant crops to grow their own food.Every year, floods on the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers brought SILT-(A MIXTURE OF RICH SOIL AND TINY ROCKS),to the land. The fertile silt made the land ideal for farming.

Why was the fertile crescent an idel place for nomadic people to settle and build cities?

The fertile crescent is no longer the ideal place to live. First of all, the area between the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers is in The Middle East, a politically very unstable area.The Suez Canal has also changed the natural flow of the rivers. The area remains productive for food, but not exactly the gracious plenty it used to provide and the population increasing, the Nile crocodiles! Not my idea of a Garden spot. Nevertheless, we continue to hold this area in high regard as the most likely " Cradle of Civilization".
