Extractions: NM's Creative Impulse Development of Western Civilization I World History I Mesopotamia Search or look it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica Contact Information The Mesopotamian plain was part of the Fertile Crescent. Situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the area was the birth place of the varied civilizations that developed writing, schools, libraries, written law codes and moved us from prehistory to history. The Sumerians, Akkadians, Chaldeans, Hittites, Babylonians, Israelites, Phoenicians, Lydians, Assyrians and Persians established the foundations for future Civilizations. Their contributions include: the wheel, glass, the sail, coinage, mathematics, the alphabet, calendars, bronze, iron, monotheism, epic poetry, farming and irrigation. The art of Mesopotamia is as diverse as the civilizations that inhabited the area. Art became decorative, stylized and conventionalized at different times and places in the area. Gods took on human forms and humans were combined with animals to make fantastic creatures. Art commemorated the accomplishments of great men and intimidated the lowly. Skills improved and new media was developed. Large temples and imposing palaces dotted the landscape. Man recorded his history and poetry for the first time and set them down to music. Lyres, pipes, harps and drums accompanied their songs and dances. Abraham Text only Bio from the Catholic Encyclopedia The Story of Abraham from the Hebrew Bible - from

Extractions: An Introduction to the Ancient Middle East Part 3: Phoenicians and Hebrews About 1200 B.C. a seafaring civilization arose along the Mediterranean Sea . These were the Phoenicians , and their boats carried traders and explorers alike. They carried customs and goods from one ancient civilizations to another. They are known for their alphabet, their papermaking, and their glassmaking. The Phoenicians founded cities (among them Byblos Sidon , and Tyre ) but were more interested in trade than empire. They also founded the city of Carthage , in northern Africa, in 814 B.C. This city would become the capital of a very powerful civilization that would rival Rome for control of the Mediterranean world. To the south of Phoenician territory was Canaan , a mountain-and-desert land that was home to the Hebrews Abraham led his people from the city of Ur to Canaan about 1900 B.C. The Hebrews, who had started out as traders, became growers of wheat, fig, and olives and tenders of sheep. They stayed in Canaan for about 100 years, during which time they organized themselves into the famous 12 Tribes. About 1800 B.C., a drought began, forcing the Hebrews to move to Egypt. Six hundred years later, the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt. After a time

The result was that Egypt now had two rulers: the XXI dynasty in Tanis (a city in the northeastern corner of the delta), and Herihor's family of priest-kings in Thebes. In the past that marked the beginning of anarchy, but the two families maintained peace with some successful diplomacy, including at least one marriage, between themselves.

The territory, about 320 km (about 200 mi) long and from 8 to 25 km (5 to 15 mi) wide, was bounded on the east by the Lebanon Mountains. The southern boundary was Mount Carmel; the northern boundary was generally accepted to be the Eleutherus River, now called the Kabîr, which forms the northern boundary of Lebanon. Although its inhabitants had a homogeneous civilization and considered themselves a single nation, Phoenicia was not a unified state but a group of city-kingdoms, one of which usually dominated the others. The most important of these cities were Simyra, Zarephath (Sarafand), Byblos , Jubeil, Arwad (Rouad), Acco (Akko), Sidon (Saydâ), Tripolis (Tripoli), Tyre (Sur), and Berytus ( Beirut ). The two most dominant were Tyre and Sidon, which alternated as sites of the ruling power.
