A Great Oral Tradition
The European colonial powers called Africa "the Dark Continent" when they began their explorations. They saw it as a vast and dangerous place filled with savage people, but Africa has been home to many advanced, exotic civilizations. Many have been buried beneath the sands of time, but we know of others, and archaeologists continue to uncover more clues about ancient African civilizations. West Africa has a great oral tradition. A griot is a learned storyteller, entertainer, and historian. Often a griot will memorize the genealogy, or family history, of everyone in a village going back centuries. American writer Alex Haley met a griot in 1966 that had memorized the entire story of the village of Juffure to a date two centuries in the past when his ancestor was enslaved. "The old griot had talked for nearly two hours up to then . . . 'the oldest of these fours sons, Kunta, went away from his village and he was never seen again' . . . I sat as if I were carved of stone. My blood seemed to have congealed. This man whose lifetime had been in this back-country African village had no way in the world to know that he had just echoed what I had heard all though my boyhood years on my grandma's front porch in Henning, Tennessee."

    Middle East Movie Reviews
    Related Subjects: Computers Oman Family movie reviews for "Middle East" sorted by average review score: Lifting the Fog - Intrigue in the Middle East Released in DVD by Mpi Media Group (30 July, 2002) MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated) Average review score: Convoluted Arab Propaganda This movie is a total distortion of the truth and a rewriting of history from the point of view of the Arab propaganda machine. Even though at first it had some "clout" of legitimacy, I soon realized that important facts about Jewish and Israeli history were purposefully omitted to suit the extremely anti-Israeli views of the producers. It is scary to realize how easy it is to transform perfectly legimate historical events into "atrocities" by omitting some "dismissible" facts. This is an example of brainwashing, not history, and it is a shame for the producers. A Great Documentary A great documentary about a very complex region. However this documentary is likely to distress unconditional supporters of Israel since it does not present the usual pro-Israeli propaganda. Essential Information for Understanding Middle East Conflict This video presents the historical facts that underlie not only the current Arab/Israel conflict, but sheds light on the problems the United States faces dealing with the whole Middle East. In contrast to the propaganda and Hollywood stereotypes that "fog" the truth, this film presents facts and photos that show BOTH sides of the current conflict. In addition, the scholars (both Jewish and Arab)in this film suggest, Western imperialism, ignorance, and bigotry are significant factors in the current political problems. Actually, this film illuminates the basic problems the U.S. faces not only in the Middle East, but also in South America, Asia, and Africaanywhere 20th century imperialistic policies have created complex conflicts that threaten world peace today. A brave, accurate and honest report.

    The Near and Middle East volume of the Travel the World by Train series takes one on a captivating journey to the cradle of civilization. We begin in Istanbul, Turkey: the entrance to the Islamic world. On the Marmara Express, Muslim faithful chant prayers on the train. In Efes, on the Aegean Sea, looms the colossal Artemision Temple, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Umayyade Mosque, the oldest in existence, can be seen in Damascus, Syria. Also in Syria is the island of Arwad, once home to the ancient Phoenicians. The Israel trip begins in Jerusalem with views of important sacred sites: the Muslim Golden Dome of the Rock, the Christian Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and the Jewish Wailing Wall. Tel Aviv's beaches and skyscrapers and the bustling Mediterranean port of Haifa highlight the Israeli trip. The train's tracks abruptly end; in more peaceful times they continued to Damascus. Boarding in the capital, Teheran, the Iranian train traverses one of the globe's most arid regions, stopping in the astonishing ancient city of Esfahan. Travelers on India's Royal Orient Express from Delhi luxuriate aboard a gorgeous re-creation of a luxury steam train used by Maharajas. The exotic cross-India trip from Bombay chugs by sacred cave temples in Ellora and rice paddies on the Bay of Bengal before debarking in teeming Calcutta, where passengers bathe in the river outside the station.

    Driving Tours The Mountains West of Jerusalem When Highway 1 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem ascends into the Judean Mountains at Sha’ar Ha Gai (the Gate of the Valley) you can catch a few glimpses of the true magnificence of the Judean landscape. Sadly, this is all of the Judean Mountains that most visitors to Israel ever see. Intensive construction of communities along this corridor to Jerusalem, the widening and straightening of the highway, and a forest fire in 1995 that destroyed 70 years of reforestation have all diminished the wonders of this once dramatic route. But "the secret places of the hills" (to quote The Song of Songs ) still exist untouched in the countryside just to the south of Highway 1, filled with forested mountains, ancient terraced hillsides, and dramatic ravines and vistas. Most visitors who rent cars in Israel take off for the mountains of the Galilee and Golan, or the Negev Desert. This drive, starting just minutes from Jerusalem will pass vistas as dramatic as any in Galilee, and introduce you to some of the simple pleasures of the hills.

    some Bible and ancient geopolitics
    Sorry, this article has pretty little to do with emerging markets, just to induce certain Ozi into his usual state of obsessive ravings, and for some weekend fun for other Colores who are saner and more appreciative of humor. Below is a part of the correspondence with Exile magazine editor Mark Ames, more specifically, my letter regarding his recently published review of the Bible, available here: http://www.exile.ru/157/157041801.h... Mark,
    You’ve made some excellent points about the third-rate quality of most of the Bible material, and that “compared to the truly sublime culture and literature of that time - the ancient Greeks - the Jews were just hicks with a lot of energy, nothing like the Jews of today”. But, please, what is more pathetic – biblical Jewish self-loathing, or the endless self-analyzing of your interpretation of these miserable ravings? At times you make it sound as if most of the Old Testament was written by some kind of Woody Allen in a bad mood, after being blown off by a perky 15-year old tart. It is actually much more plain and banal than that. Iliad, my ass! Most of the Old Testament is nothing but a loud, primitive battle cry, about as complex and nuanced as a football cheer after many-a-sixpack. If Yahweh in these chapters of the Old Testaments evokes any facial imagery, it is a mug of a drill sergeant – such as Instructor Hartman from the “Full Metal Jacket”: “Shut up!!! Who told you are allowed to hobnob with those vile Amorites and their whores? Kill them all! Men, women, children, leave only some virgins… And not for your pleasure, you pervs! Only for procreation, increasing multitudes of you idiots, and my glory!” “You thought You are not supposed to think! You’re here only to obey my command, or I will smite you all, unfaithful jerks!”. “Ah said - Shuttup!!! Give me thirty pushups, morons... And your firstborns while you are at it…”

    ANCIENT LEBANON
    [Excerpted from Lebanon: A Country Study. Thomas Collelo, ed. Washington, DC: Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress, 1987]
    CHAPTER 1. Historical Setting
    LIKE OTHER AREAS of the Middle East, Lebanon has a heritage almost as old as the earliest evidence of mankind. Its geographic position as a crossroads linking the Mediterranean Basin with the great Asian hinterland has conferred on it a cosmopolitan character and a multicultural legacy. At different periods of its history, Lebanon has come under the domination of foreign rulers, including Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, and French. Although often conquered, the Lebanese take pride in their rebellions against despotic and repressive rulers. Moreover, despite foreign domination, Lebanon's mountainous terrain has provided it with a certain protective isolation, enabling it to survive with an identity all its own. Its proximity to the sea has ensured that throughout its history Lebanon has held an important position as a trading center. This tradition of commerce began with the Phoenicians and continued through many centuries, remaining almost unaffected by foreign rule and the worst periods of internal strife.
    ANCIENT TIMES
    The Phoenicians
    The area now known as Lebanon first appeared in recorded history around 3000 B.C. as a group of coastal cities and a heavily forested hinterland. It was inhabited by the Canaanites, a Semitic people, whom the Greeks called "Phoenicians" because of the purple

The individuality of the Phoenicians was dwindling, and with the rise of Greek naval and maritime power the importance of the Phoenicians disappeared. They were, however, able in the 4th cent. B.C.

    A trip through Lebanon is a journey through the annals of some of the world’s greatest civilizations. With over 5,000 years of recorded history, the country is a treasure trove of archeological wonders, waiting to be discovered by visitors who want a glimpse into the ancient and modern past. Most of Lebanon’s historical sites have layers upon layers of ruins, with each layer uncovering the story of another civilization that inhabited this ancient land. Prehistoric Times (5,000-3,000 BC) A trip through Lebanon’s history begins in Byblos, where archaeologists have discovered the earliest known settlements in Lebanon.Today, remnants of prehistoric huts with crushed limestone floors, primitive weapons, and burial jars are evidence of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic fishing communities who lived on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea over 7,000 years ago.

    A journey to the Middle East is nothing short of going back into the history of civilization - and yet it is here that history is still in the making. For many people this land is where it all began.
    The small group concept we have adopted for tours will give you an opportunity to move more freely and thus be able to see more. It is also an ideal opportunity to get an insight into the various historical and cultural places you will visit and experience the life from the angle of the local peoples you visit.
