Crescent

“Crescent Moon Darnel.” Meta looked up from her port, her eyes wandering for the so-called Crescent Moon. She had never seen this name on her list, giving it away that she had just turned four, the age when the scientists first draw blood from the shells. “Here.” a small, almost inaudible voice came from the back of the lava tunnel. A small blonde girl with warm brown eyes emerged from the crowd. She blushed and looked a the floor as Meta examined her. “Hello,” Meta said softly “What’s wrong?” “I-I’m sc-scared,” Crescent said. “Of me? I didn't think I my messy hair was that scary.” “It’s not you.” “What is scaring you?” “The needle.” Meta glanced down at the gleaming needle in her hand. 
“It’s not that bad. Look.” Meta took one of the many…

Geographic factors such as latitude determine every location’s climate. Climate controls where, when, and what a civilization can grow which then dictates their level of development. Where sufficient and nutritious crops can be grown efficiently, will have more time to advance and specialize in other activities. The Fertile Crescent is further North of the equator, which results in the semi-arid climate that supports the growth and production of the Fertile Crescents people’s main food source,…

The Fertile Crescent is the region in the Middle East which curves, like a quarter-moon shape, from the Persian Gulf, through modern-day southern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and northern Egypt. Known as the Cradle of Civilization, the Fertile Crescent is regarded as the birthplace of agriculture, urbanization, writing, trade, science, history and organized religion and was first populated 10,000 BCE when agriculture and the domestication of animals began in the region. By 9,000 BCE the…

quicker than many other civilizations. Some individuals may ask why that happened and what caused it. Specifically, one new Guinean man simply asked Jared Diamond, “Why you white men have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?” Diamond thought this was a simple question; however, he did not have a simple answer. Over time and research, he found the answer lies in innovations starting in the Fertile Crescent and geography itself. However, this is just one possibility or factor.…

As I stepped onto the Crescent Trail I was blasted by vibrant colors. There were leaves and trees and animals. The sun shimmered between the trees and brightened the woods. I saw lots of brown, green, orange and shiny gold. Nick Rory, my mom and I headed deeper into the woods as civilization disappeared behind us. It was a perfect day, sixty-five degrees and sunny. While we walked I listened to the crackling of sticks and leaves beneath our feet. We walked through the woods for fifteen minutes…

be a place like no other, considering that the person it was named after had a reputation all his own. The Duke of Orleans was a man that lived by his own standards, completely apart from society, so much so that John Law predicted his death by saying that, “he was going to die of pleasure.” American, but not quite American, the city continues to stand out today, as exemplified through the two works Beautiful Crescent and The World That Made New Orleans, from Spanish Silver to Congo Square.…

Geography of the Fertile Crescent also known to the Greeks as Mesopotamia played a crucial role in the development of civilization in the region. The mountains provided water to the low lands to irrigate crop and the peoples of the region learned to domesticate animals for farming. As the Mesopotamians learned to use the land agriculture became the central way of life. During the rule of Alexander the Great, the Hellenistic era brought an expansion of Greek language and ideals, and trade with…

B.) Southwest and Southeast Asia, parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Mesoamerica, the Andes, China, New Guinea, and eastern North America were all places that were in the Fertile Crescent.
