Explain The Characteristics Of Mesopotamian Civilization

3. a) A social organization can only be considered a civilization if it has established, firstly, knowledge in agriculture and have flourished this given blessing. Being able to grow crops to support the people in the settlements. Being able to develop tools to improve the agricultural blessing they are given.

A city with a more complex political structure, controlled by a higher power which is another factor considered in calling an organization, civilization, having a government.
