How can mid-east,arab,iran people live and build great civilization in deserts?

Look at map you know. On the right is Rajastan, so desolate that its only purpose is for nuclear testing. On the left is Balochistan, a big desert.

Wiki say below of Balochistan weather.

The desert climate is characterised by hot and very arid conditions. Occasionally strong windstorms make these areas very inhospitable.

you're half right. east of indus in south punjab/sindh is primarily thar desert. balochistan actually has too varied a landscape to call it 'a big desert'. i suggest you google the topography and landscape of that region. in fact even the greenest province (punjab) has vast deserts in thal and cholistan, so its incredibly varied. also many of these desert areas have farmland with sandy soil where certain type of crops flourish and make up the regional diet.

and don't form your opinion from google maps alone, as they are patched together and manipulated to form a seamless, cloud free map. it doesn't accurately reflect seasonal variations either. you should rather see the region from unaltered satellite photographs, even with the clouds, it will closer represent the reality of what it looks from space. such as this one from last year that focuses on south asia.

Personally I been to Balochistan, crossing from Iran Zehedan to Quetta. The only thing I see there is parch earth, and hardly any vegetation.

I do not know if my observation is full and balance. Balochistan for that 400km do not even appear to be like to semi arid savanna.

that would be a miniscule portion of balochistan, and even then if you just stuck to the highways i can see why you have that impression. it would take a lifetime to fully explore and find all the gems that balochistan holds. it and our northern areas are the best in terms of scenery in the country IMO. the south eastern parts are completely different from the interior west which is different from the makran coast, and the lush green areas span from panjgur distt. to areas nearer karachi (in fact karachi itself has been a part of and strongly influenced by baloch empires and culture throughout history).

here are some links of greener, more vegetated areas of balochistan for reference

There are only four civilizations from Bronze age : Nile river Valley, Indus river valley, Tigris-Euphrates , Hwang-ho river valley civilization.

Rest like Greek, Vedic,Persian are from Iron age.

You mean these are belonging to Iron Age ?

Honnestly it seems you believe these people entered Iron Age several millenia before the other people.

these guys even could do surgery on the skull and we knew the patient lived enough so the bone could heal. and around 2900 bc they could make Artificial eyeball with Gold and bitumen .
