Here we have some geographical features that were important places of reference for ancient civilizations. For instance, the oldest civilization on planet Earth is Sumer. The Sumerians settled in between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, in the Middle East region of what today is Iraq. There, they established powerful city-states such as Lagash, Kish, Ur or Uruk. Another example is ancient Egypt. They settled in next to the Nile River. Or the Indus Valley civilization that settled in next to the banks of the Indus River.
