Final answer:
The geography of the Fertile Crescent did not protect it from invaders as much as Egypt's geography did, making the statement false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the geography of the Fertile Crescent protected it from invaders, like Egypt, is false. Unlike Egypt, which benefited from isolation due to deserts and the Nile creating natural barriers, the Fertile Crescent had more open geography. This area consisted of fertile agricultural lands which gave rise to early civilizations and was not as geographically protected. The Fertile Crescent experienced frequent invasions due to its accessible terrain and valuable resources.
