Ancient Anatolia Turkey Table of Contents Iliad . Hisarlik subsequently was the site of a Greek city, Ilion, and a Roman one, Ilium. Hittites Phrygians and Lydians The twelfth to ninth centuries B.C. were a time of turmoil throughout Anatolia and the Aegean world. The destruction of Troy, Hattusas, and numerous other cities in the region was a collective disaster that coincided with the rise of the aggressive Assyrian Empire in Mesopotamia, the Dorian invasion of Greece, and the appearance of the "sea peoples" who ravaged the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean. The first light to penetrate the dark age in Anatolia was lit by the very Phrygians who had destroyed Hattusas. Architects, builders, and skilled workers of iron, they had assimilated the Hittites' syncretic culture and adopted many of their political institutions. Phrygian kings apparently ruled most of western and central Anatolia in the ninth century B.C. from their capital at Gordium (a site sixty kilometers southwest of modern Ankara). Phrygian strength soon waned, however, and the kingdom was overthrown in the seventh century B.C. by the Cimmerians, a nomadic people who had been pursued over the Caucasus into Anatolia by the Scythians. Order was restored in Anatolia by the Lydians, a Thracian warrior caste who dominated the indigenous peasantry and derived their great wealth from alluvial gold found in the tributaries of the Hermus River (Gediz Nehri). From their court at Sardis, such Lydian kings as Croesus controlled western Anatolia until their kingdom fell to the Persians in 546 B.C.

Political And Social Ramifications Books By David Frawley Arjuna Awaken Bharata From The River Of Heaven How I Became A Hindu ... Hinduism : The Eternal Tradition, Sanatana Dharma ARYANS IN THE ANCIENT MIDDLE EAST The Hittites and Mittani signed a treaty with the name of the Vedic Gods - Indra, Mitra, Varuna and Nasatyas - around 1400 BC. The Hittites have a treatise on chariot racing written in almost pure Sanskrit. The Indo-Europeans of the ancient Middle East spoke Indo-Aryan, not Indo-Iranian languages and thereby show a Vedic culture in that region of the world as well.(*42) This shows that Vedic culture extended from India to Anatolia by 2000 BC. When the Linear B of the Minoan Script, dating from 1500-1100 BC, was deciphered it proved to be an earlier form of the Greek language. This has pushed the Greek presence in Greece back to 2000 or even 3000 BC, changing the Aryan entrance into this region back many centuries.

We Are an Old People, We Are a New People Part Three, Cybele and Her Gallae by Cathryn Platine When discussing the pre-history of the Mother Goddess it is best to start with a brief discussion of socio-political blinders that much of the prior research has suffered from. Even the very word "mother" conjures images and expectations that, upon closer examination, bear little relation to the Anatolian Great Mother Goddess, yet colour almost every account written about Her In her introduction to In Search of God the Mother, Lynn Roller touches on many of these issues along with an excellent recap of the history of the examination of the very concept of a Mother Goddess and deconstructs both the paternal "Mother Goddess primitive, father God superior" linear viewpoint of the majority of scholars as well as the "Golden Age free of strife and warfare" views of many modern dianic pagans. Were the ancient Anatolian civilizations matriarchal? The plain fact of the matter is we may never know. My own guess is that they were equalitarian in nature, but to a western world that only recently started to grant equal rights to women in the past hundred years, I suppose an equalitarian society could look downright matriarchal. To those who feel that a progression from a Mother Goddess to a father god is progress, I'd remind them that the religion of Cybele was

Ancient Civilisations Mesopotamia Cradle of Civilization Known as the "cradle of civilization", Mesopotamia served as the site for some of the world's earliest settlements. It occupied the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that now constitutes the greater part of Iraq. The Sumerian civilization, which began in the region in about 3500 BC, built a canal system and the world's first cities. Egypt Step Pyramid, Saqqara, 2700 BC Egyptian Art and Architecture - the buildings, paintings, sculpture, and allied arts of ancient Egypt, from prehistoric times to its conquest by the Romans in 30 BC. Egypt had the longest unified history of any civilization in the ancient Mediterranean, extending with few interruptions from about 3000 BC to the 4th century AD . The nature of the country, fertilized and united by the Nile, and its semi-isolation from outside cultural influences, produced an artistic style that changed little during this long period. Art in all its forms was devoted principally to the service of the pharaoh, who was considered a god on earth, to the state, and to religion. From early times a belief in a life after death dictated that the dead be buried with material goods to their ensure well-being for eternity.

Thus, rites and beliefs of the Mediterranean world and Middle East have remained almost intact since the ancient times. The ethnic groups were identified by means of their linguistic features, besides their physical characteristics. The Munda, Dravidian and Aryan languages stood for those linguistic features. These three groups were related to the three great ages of the development of the civilizations: Paleolithic, Neolithic and Modern. The aadivasi-s (first inhabitants) of India spoke in Munda or Mom-khmer. These people physically look like the Neanderthal man. The *Vedas of Ceylon and the Gonds of Central India belong to this group of protoaustraloids. They are thought of as the oldest inhabitants in Europe, as well as Africa and India. This race of little dark-skinned men populated Europe early in the Neolithic, but it was gradually annihilated by the Cro-Magnon men, who were more robust.

Israel`s first king Saul had been crushed at Gilboa by the Philistines, who resumed their customary dominance over the country. Instead of garrisoning the Hebrew towns they now preferred a policy of divide and rule. At Saul`s death Israel was split into tribal groups, Saul`s son Ish-Baal ruled most of the Eastern tribes and David in the hill country of the South. At this point David was still a retainer of the Philistines, he proved far to ambitious and capable to remain anyones vassal.
