The brick mold assisted  mesopotamia to build giant structures and homes. They would also make pots and bowls to store food all year round while other cultures perished due to having to keep moving all year long with the harvest.

Mesopotamia was a very hot environment and they needed water at all times so they built the canals. This would help with not having to travel long distances to the tigris and euphrates rivers every day. Mesopotamians also had many crops for food so they needed water to grow all the crops.

Some people would argue food supply is the most important piece of civilization but without technology food supply would never have happened because you need tools to grow crops and irrigation systems to water plants. Without the water they could never keep the crops alive which shows how you need technology for basic food supply.
