Chapter 2 1 . Civilization Begins in Mesopotamia The valley between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in present-day Iraq was known in ancient times as Mesopotamia. By 3,000 B.C., the Sumerians had established a number of independent cities in Mesopotamia with an economy based on farming as well as industry and trade. Sumerians made great contributions to civilization in many areas: they invented the arch and dome and built great brick buildings in large cities; they organized a structure of government to direct people in public works and irrigation projects; they invented the wheel and built carts; they developed the cuneiform system of writing and a system of numbers based on 60; and they worked in astrology. 2 .

While Egyptian civilization was developing in northeastern Africa, other civilizations were evolving in nearby southeastern Asia, chiefly in the Fertile Crescent . This region was named the Fertile Crescent because of its rich soil and half-moon shape. The Fertile Crescent was divided into 1) the eastern portion, consisting of the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys, called Mesopotamia (land between the the rivers), and 2) the western, or Mediterranean, portion Geographic Factors Influencing the Fertile Crescent 1. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The waters of these rivers enriched the land in Mesopotamia, thereby encouraging nomads to settle and farm. As in Egypt, the need for dikes to control floods and for canals to irrigate farms led to the establishment of governments. 2. Mediterranean Coastline. As seaports developed along the Mediterranean coast, the people became seafarers. They built ships and traded throughout the Mediterranean area. 3. Lack of Stone. Lacking stone, the people used sun-dried clay bricks for construction and clay tablets for writing..

Ancient Syria Roman ruins at Palmyra Courtesy Embassy of Syria The first recorded mention of Greater Syria is in Egyptian annals detailing expeditions to the Syrian coastland to log the cedar, pine, and cypress of the Ammanus and Lebanon mountain ranges in the fourth millennium. Sumer, a kingdom of non-Semitic peoples that formed the southern boundary of ancient Babylonia, also sent expeditions in the third millennium, chiefly in pursuit of cedar from the Ammanus and gold and silver from Cilicia. The Sumerians most probably traded with the Syrian port city of Byblos, which was also negotiating with Egypt for exportation of timber and the resin necessary for mummification. An enormous commercial network linking Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Aegean, and the Syrian coast was developed. The network was perhaps under the aegis of the kingdom of Ebla ("city of the white stones"), the chief site of which was discovered in 1975 at Tall Mardikh, 64 kilometers south of Aleppo (see fig. 2

Athens University, Athens, Greece opening Lecture, Athens MBC Meeting, November 1991 SUMMARY. An account is given of the contributions made to Mediterranean culture by all the peoples that have populated the various countries, at different moments of history. Introduction The ancient Mediterranean civilization, from ancient times to the beginning of the Middle Ages, is a result of remarkable historical events, and it is one of the most distinguished civilizations which have influenced positively a wide development of the human cultures. Many favourable circumstances have contributed to this, especially the privileged geographical location of the Mediterranean area between 3 continents, the mild and healthful climate, the inheritance of important civilizations of Mesopotamia, India and China, the facile communication by maritime routes, as well as the invention of writing. Here in parenthesis I mention what the Greek philosopher Plato states in - his writings: "people established themselves around the seashores of the Mediterranean Sea, like the frogs which do the same around the water".

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.

36. The Saga Of Ancient Hebrew Explorers -- Who Really Discovered America? by maritime powers in the middle east seems to have been fairly common. Did ancient phoenicians reach the New World? The evidence is inescapable. http://hope-of-israel.org/hebinusa.htm

Hope of Israel Ministries (Church of YEHOVAH) The Saga of Ancient Hebrew Explorers Who Really Discovered America? Did ancient Hebrews reach the shores of the North and South American continents thousands of years before Christopher Columbus? What evidence is there for Hebrew and Israelite occupation of the Western Hemisphere even a thousand years before the Messiah? Was trans-Atlantic commerce and travel fairly routine in the days of king Solomon of Israel? Read here the intriguing, fascinating saga of the TRUE DISCOVERERS OF AMERICA! A stone in a dry creek bed in New Mexico, discovered by early settlers in the region, is one of the most amazing archaeological discoveries in the Western Hemisphere. It contains engraved on its flank the entire Ten Commandments written in ancient Hebrew script! Hebrew scholars, such as Cyrus Gordon of Brandeis University near Boston, have vouched for its authenticity. I visited the site of the huge boulder, near Las Lunas, New Mexico, in 1973 and photographed the Hebrew inscriptions. A local newspaper reporter guided me to the mysterious site, located out in the middle of the New Mexico desert. We watched for rattlesnakes, as we hiked in to the spot where the boulder lies, unmoved and in situ for who knows how many mysterious centuries. Who put it there? Who wrote the incredible inscription of the TEN COMMANDMENTS in an ancient Hebrew dialect. In December, 1989, it was reported that an American explorer in Peru's highland jungles had found evidence that indicated king Solomon's legendary gold mines may have been in that region. The explorer, Gene Savoy, declared that he had found three stone tablets containing the first writing found from the ancient civilizations of the Andes. The inscriptions, he reported, are similar to Phoenician and Hebrew hieroglyphs!

ANCIENT PERSIA - PERSEPOLIS The early history of man in Iran goes back well beyond the Neolithic period, it begins to get more interesting around 6000 BC, when people began to domesticate animals and plant wheat and barley. The number of settled communities increased, particularly in the eastern Zagros mountains, and handmade painted pottery appears. Throughout the prehistoric period, from the middle of the sixth millennium BC to about 3000 BC, painted pottery is a characteristic feature of many sites in Iran. PERSIAN TIMELINE The Persian Empire dominated Mesopotamia from 612-330 BC. The Achaemenid Persians of central Iran ruled an empire which comprised Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria, Egypt, and parts of Asia Minor and India. Their ceremonial capital was Persepolis in southern Iran founded by King Darius the Great (522-486 B.C.). Persepolis was burned by Alexander the Great in 331 B.C. Only the columns, stairways, and door jambs of its great palaces survived the fire. The stairways, adorned with reliefs representing the king, his court, and delegates of his empire bringing gifts, demonstrate the might of the Persian monarch. The Stone Tablets of Darius the Great The Persian Rosetta Stone THE PERSIAN WARS In the 5th century BC the vast Persian Empire attempted to conquer Greece. If the Persians had succeeded, they would have set up local tyrants, called satraps, to rule Greece and would have crushed the first stirrings of democracy in Europe. The survival of Greek culture and political ideals depended on the ability of the small, disunited Greek city-states to band together and defend themselves against Persia's overwhelming strength. The struggle, known in Western history as the Persian Wars, or Greco-Persian Wars, lasted 20 yearsfrom 499 to 479 BC.
