Philip Hitti, a renowned American scholar and professor at Princeton University, dedicated his book to the history of the Middle East. Over the centuries, this vast region of the planet was home to a wide variety of peoples: Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Jews, Turks, Persians, and Arabs. For five millennia, this territory developed dynamically and served as a source of material and spiritual culture, from which the inhabitants of Europe drew knowledge and skills. The Middle East gave Europe the art of animal domestication, metal smelting, ceramic making, the solar calendar, and the alphabet—all this and much more. Exploring life in the Middle East, the author touched on crucial issues related to territorial conquests, the development of science, culture, and economics, and the emergence and spread of the three great world religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
