Answer:

In the context of trade, saffron is one of the world's most expensive spices by weight. Saffron consists of stigmas plucked from the vegetatively propagated and sterile Crocus sativus, known popularly as the saffron crocus. The resulting dried "threads are distinguished by their bitter taste, hay-like fragrance, and slight metallic notes. The saffron crocus is unknown in the wild; its most likely precursor, Crocus cartwrightianus, originated in Crete or Central Asia The saffron crocus is native to Southwest Asia, and was first cultivated in the area now known as Greece.

"Saffron, for example, was once less regarded than it is today because the crocus from which it is extracted was not particularly mysterious. It flourished in European locations extending from Asia Minor, where it originated, to Saffron Walden in England, where it was naturalised. Only subsequently, when its labour-intensive cultivation became largely centred in Kashmir, did it seem sufficiently exotic to qualify as one of the most precious of spices.

Name the 2 of the natural physical barriers around the Fertile Crescent and explain why did not settle there but instead why the
Nuetrik [128]

The natural barriers around the Fertile Crescent are the deserts and the mountains.

The people that migrated in the Fertile Crescent, in what is known as Mesopotamia, moved in there because it was the only place that had nice conditions for living and prosper. The Mesopotamia region was between two very big rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These two rivers were flooding each year and creating a new very fertile soil, which allowed the people to be engaged in agriculture and have a stable food source, and also to have a stable fresh water source.

On the other hand, the deserts and the mountains, were not providing these condition. The deserts are too dry, there's not enough food and water, and life is extremely hard and has to be in a nomadic style. The mountains are very restrictive in what they offer and in how big of a part of the year. While the summers might be good and provide nice living conditions, the winters are very cruel and can bring death very easily.
