See all Terms articles Ancient History The oldest known civilizations arose in Mesopotamia (the region of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers) and Egypt. Through commerce on the Mediterranean Sea, the discoveries and inventions of these areas spread eventually to Europe. The early history of the Middle East is, therefore, the early history of Western civilization. Early Civilizations Farming was the first step toward civilization. About 9000 B.C. , in the hilly areas of the Tigris-Euphrates headwaters (eastern Turkey), people began to raise animals and plant crops. After several thousand years, they moved down into the river valleys of Mesopotamia, where they learned to irrigate their fields with river water. Farming spread over to the Mediterranean coast, which formed with Mesopotamia an arc of cultivated land called the Fertile Crescent. Crops were also grown along the Nile River in Egypt. A people known as Sumerians settled in southern Mesopotamia sometime before 3500 B.C. They founded the region's first civilization, based on a group of city-states. The first system of writing, cuneiform, was devised by the Sumerians. Because of their many significant contributions, their land is called the Cradle of Civilization. Egypt, however, developed a civilization almost as early and devised its own system of writing, hieroglyphics. Egypt was the first Middle East country to become a nation. Organized first into two kingdoms, it was unified about 3100 B.C.

Welcome Edited by Silvia Schroer (Bern) and Tal Ilan (Berlin) assisted by an international and cross-confessional editorial board. Administration: Ulrike Sals Why this journal? Feminist exegesis is an internationally recognised approach in biblical studies, which also delivers an important contribution to Gender studies. So far feminist exegetes living in Europe had only few possibilities to present their research to their fellow researchers and to all those interested in their work. This situation is deplorable, since european feminist exegesis is an extraordinarily lively research area with unique and original contributions. At a meeting of contributors to the Kompendium Feministische Bibelauslegung many-sided, exciting, relevant lectio difficilior Is the first European refereed journal for feminist exegesis, hermeneutics and related disciplines (classical philology, archeology, egyptology, studies of the ancient Near Middle East, ancient history, history of art, social sciences, psychology, e.a.). It appears twice a year in Bern since 2000 in three languages ( German, English or French). Since then many fascinating articles were published in lectio difficilior.

See all Terms articles 1,000 Years of Religious Conflict Under Emperor Theodosius (reigned 379–95), Christianity had become the official religion of the Roman Empire. Most of the Jews departed. The Holy Land, with its shrines and relics, began to attract Christian pilgrims from Europe. A new doctrine, Monophysitism, arose in Constantinople and was accepted by the Eastern Orthodox (Byzantine) Church, but was then rejected. Another doctrine, Nestorianism, was introduced by the Byzantine patriarch, but was later condemned. Many churches in the Middle East refused to renounce these doctrines and separated from the Byzantine church. Often these conflicts resulted in massacres and destruction. The Muslim Conquest The Muslim, or Islamic, religion was founded in Arabia early in the seventh century by Mohammed. He claimed to be the last prophet of the Biblical God, whom he called Allah. The Arabians were quickly won to his cause, and Muslim armies advanced into adjacent lands. The Persians and Byzantines, enfeebled by their perpetual warfare, were easily defeated. By 700 all the Middle East but Asia Minor was under Muslim control. Arabic became the common language. The conquered peoples, except for Christians and Jews, were forced to convert to Islam. Jews began returning to Palestine.

20. Fertile Crescent - Simple English Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia The Fertile Crescent is a historical region in the Middle East that includes Middle East Ancient history http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertile_crescent

Fertile Crescent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Fertile crescent Jump to: navigation search This map shows the extent of the Fertile Crescent. The Fertile Crescent is a historical region in the Middle East that includes the Levant Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt . These countries on a map together have a shape that is similar to a crescent , so archaeologist James Henry Breasted spoke of the "Fertile Crescent" because he wanted to show the similarities of the cultures of this region in ancient times. All these lands are watered by important rivers: Nile Jordan Euphrates and Tigris . Together they cover some 400-500,000 square kilometers, and the region extends from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea around the north of the Syrian Desert and through the Jazirah and Mesopotamia to the Persian Gulf . These areas are in present-day Egypt Israel West Bank Gaza strip , and Lebanon and parts of Jordan Syria Iraq , south-eastern Turkey and south-western Iran . The population of the Nile River basin is about 70 million, the Jordan River basin about 20 million, and the Tigris and Euphrates basins about 30 million, giving the present-day Fertile Crescent a total population of around 120 million, or at least a quarter of the population of the Middle East. The Fertile Crescent has a very long record of past human activity.
