What are the early cities in the fertile crescent?

The fertile crescent is a crescent-shaped area in the Middle east. It is composed of Mesopotamia, the area between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates (Iraq and eastern Syria) and the Levant, the coastal areas on the Mediterranean (the coastal area of Syria, Lebanon and part of Israel). The ancient civilisations of this area were the Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians and Phoenicians.
