Mesopotamia as well as the other great early Civilizations (Egypt - Indus Valley - Yangtze) were all situated near one or more big rivers.
In the case of Mesopotamia it was two the Tigris and the Euphrates. The vicinity of rivers was of the greatest importance,it gave them easy and unlimited access to drinking water and made transportation less cumbersome. The climate was warm and did not pose any problems for housing a simple hut would do. The land between the two rivers was excellent for farming because of the seasonal flooding that would leave the land ready for cultivation and give more than one crop per year. The fact that the living conditions were good and spare time was available,people could dedicate time to make their daily life easier and more pleasant. They started inventing things and later would want to make them even more attractive,thus Art was born.
A surplus of food and a bigger production of certain objects would lead them to trade inside or outside their borders and the need for writing arose. The cuneiform script was invented and thus ancient legends and myths about the Gods and Heroes were written down - Literature was born.
All these were the result of an organized society with Laws,a State Religion and rulers who treated their subjects well.
Hope this will help.
