Mesopotamia

Why did the Mesopotamian Civilizations come to an end?

     Mesopotamia existed for about 3,000 years before its end.  The reason for this was the large movement of the people in Southern and Eastern Europe.  This corresponds with the destruction of all the chief areas of civilization in Mesopotamia.  Also, the expansion of the Persians and their capture of Babylon could have been a contributing factor.  Mesopotamia eventually became a part of the Persian Empire.
     That is how the world's first area of civilization was destroyed, but it made way for new empires and countries in the future.  The people of Mesopotamia's contribution to the modern world will never be forgotten.
