Mesopotamia was located in the Fertile Crescent, since the name means ''between rivers'' it is located in between two rivers. These rivers are called Euphrates and Tigris. These are the two main rivers in the Mesopotamia. These two rivers provide Mesopotamia with the water it needs for growing crops and it had minerals which they needed to survive. Since Mesopotamia had these two rivers it made Mesopotamia very Fertile and it made the soil good for growing crops. Which means that Mesopotamian people were able to survive on their own.
