thriving !
Mesopotamia thrived for such a long period of time because of its ability to create new and sophisticated (for their time-period) technology, a strong army, and their awareness of dangers. The ancient Mesopotamians created tools to allow them to successfully farm even in difficult environmental conditions. Mesopotamia was stationed between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, so that water could easily be used. However, these water sources were undependable. They may have dried up from the heat during the summer. Therefore, the Mesopotamians created irrigation systems to overcome this issue. They built ditches near rivers, making artificial waterways. This way, they could ensure that their crop fields would receive water.
Mesopotamians found an easy way to get food by domesticating animals. Because of domestication, there was always a steady supply of meat so the civilization wouldn’t starve. Mesopotamia's strong army allowed the civilization to overcome environmental disasters.
