The Middle East

I am indeed very happy to introduce this original part in our Planet!
As well as I am proud to live in it.
The Middle East is very special
It is the place were the three famous big religions came from: Judaism, Christianism, and Islam.
It is also the point were the greatest ancient civilizations began.
Such as: Egyptian, Asyrian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Persian, Phoenician, and many other ancient civilizations which gave the Humanity lots of Treasure, Culture, religion, Mysticism, Legends, Discoveries, progress and first real organized supreme civilizations...
Later such as Arabian, Ottoman and so...
How can any one deny the first alphabet, which was discovered and founded in Ugarit near Latakia-Syria Today,
Or the awesome engineering structures and methods like Pyramids in Egypt.
Or the Discovery of the Wheel which was first suggested in Asure-Iraq today.
Isn't it enough to say that 4 wonders from 7 wonders of the world were in the Middle East!
Check them:
Alexandria Lighthouse
Alexandria Great Library
Giza Pyramids
Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
This spot was always the hottest politically!
Many strong foreign civilizations have put their eyes to steal and plunder the treasures and resources of the Middle East!
Even till Today!
And I guess it will continue until there will be a Planetary Civilization!
I guess it is Number one in the world in it wealthy!
Rich culture, Great History, Philosophy, Strategic location between the East and the West, Sea Gates, Petrol, ancient treasures and so...
This virtue is actually a black cursed for the Middle East!
Greed and Evil wants ever to control it whatever the price is!
This is the Paradox in the Middle East!
But it is also making it the most interesting point somehow in the world.

 Once we fought wars over differing religions, and plundered Gold and treasure, now fight wars over differing religions and we plunder oil. Nice to see how far civilisation has come on in 800 years. Interesting page Firas.
