The correct answer is C. It is not true that societies of the Fertile Crescent believed in equality and communal living.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mesopotamia is a designation for the area between the Euphrates and the Tigris. Today, its territory roughly corresponds to Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey and southwest Iran.

Mesopotamia was the cradle of civilization. The first Sumerian population appeared in Mesopotamia at the turn of the 4th and 3rd millennium BC. In ancient times, it was divided into northern Assyria and southern Babylon. The upper part of Babylonia was called Akkad and the lower part of Sumer. In 539 BC the Persians of the Achaimen dynasty invaded Babylon, and in 331 BC Alexander the Great, after whose death Babylon became part of the Seleucid Empire.

Around 150 BC Mesopotamia was seized by the Parthians, and in the 2nd century AD the Persians again. In 637, Muslim Arabs took control of Mesopotamia. Since then Mesopotamia has been called El Iraq el'Arabi, as the Arabs called it.
