Ancient Near Eastern
The Ancient Near East, spanning roughly 3.000–2.000 B.C., was a crucible of civilization situated in the Mediterranean Sea . This era witnessed the emergence of powerful city-states, the codification of early legal systems, and the development of monumental architecture. Societies in this region were defined by their agricultural innovation, using irrigation to transform arid landscapes into fertile farmlands. Trade networks flourished, connecting cultures through the exchange of goods like precious metals, textiles, and spices. The era laid the groundwork for written communication through early scripts and set the stage for enduring advancements in governance, religion, and art.
