Define the word. Explain what this phrase means.Please I need help with my homework.
 
a cradle: used for carrying or holding babies

so the cradle of civilization is the birthplace of civilization and where it started. Mesopotamia is the cradle of civilization on earth.
 
I've heard this term applied to ancient Iraq or the Babylon area. It lies between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers there. I do not recall many other details beside the locale so you may want to check Wikipedia or some other online reference site. Best of luck~
 
put simply, it is any place from where civilization first emerged.
a baby is first put in a cradle thats where the expression comes from
:)
