Mesopotamia is a word used to indicate to an ancient region found on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which presently prevails in the modern-day Middle East. The area matches to most places of modern-day Iraq as well as portions of Iran, Kuwait, Syria, and Turkey. Mesopotamia is famous in past for being the foundation of civilization as it was the place of important advancements during history.

Cuneiform is a practice of writing initially explained by the classical Sumerians of Mesopotamia 3500-3000 BCE. It is thought to be the most important among the various cultural offerings of the Sumerians and the highest among those of the Sumerian city of Uruk which promoted the writing of cuneiform.

Phoenicia is an old Greek word used to connect to the significant export of the country, textiles dyed Tyrian purple from the Murex mollusc, and related to the main Canaanite port towns; not answering specifically to Phoenician art as a whole as it would have been known natively. Their civilization was established in city-states, comparable to those of old Greece, perhaps the most important of which were Tyre, Sidon, Arwad, Berytus, Byblos and Carthage.

The valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers made various productive regions in the Fertile Crescent. The old civilization of Mesopotamia grew in the land within the two rivers. The Fertile Crescent (also known as the "origin of civilization") is a crescent-shaped area where farming and old human civilizations like the Sumer and Ancient Egypt grew due to floods from the surrounding Nile, Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

The Exodus is the originating story of the Israelites. Published over the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, it speaks of the subjection that befell the children of Israel in Egypt, their freedom through the support of Yahweh and the prophecies at Sinai, and their wanderings in the wilderness up to boundaries of Canaan, the land their God has given them.

A reasonably small group of tradesmen and merchants are identified as the Phoenicians built the foundation for the contemporary English alphabet and other alphabets. They created a system of 22 consonants into what became the alphabet used not only by English lecturers but by lecturers of many of the world's languages. These Phoenician sites were often in opposition with each other for power of the region. Because of this absence of cooperation, the Phoenicians were captured and compelled to pay tribute to the practice every empire in the region, including the Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks.

Hammurabi, the ruler of Babylon, is best remembered for the construction of a code of laws recognised as the Code of Hammurabi, which was practised to control Mesopotamian community. Hammurabi was born circa 1810, BCE, in Babylon, now modern day Iraq. He modified an unpredictable number of city-states into a powerful empire that crossed ancient Mesopotamia. Hammurabi’s abiding contribution to the western community was his set of laws written on twelve stones and presented candidly for all to see.

The Assyrian war machine was the most effective military force in the ancient world up until the fall of the empire in 612 BCE. The intrigue to its success was a professionally equipped standing army, iron weaponry, excellent engineering skills, useful tactics, and, most importantly, a complete ruthlessness which came to characterize the Assyrians to their neighbours and citizens and still adds itself to the reliability of Assyria in the modern day.

The Persian Empire is the title given to a set of dynasties centred in modern-day Iran that crossed several centuries—from the sixth century B.C. to the twentieth century A.D. The original Persian Empire, established by Cyrus the Great around 550 B.C., became one of the greatest empires in history, ranging from Europe’s Balkan Peninsula in the West to India’s Indus Valley in the East. This Iron Age dynasty, sometimes called the Achaemenid Empire, was a global hub of culture, faith, science, art and technology for more than 200 years.

Zoroastrianism, or Mazdayasna, is one of the world's greatest religions that persists till date. It is a monotheistic belief (i.e. a single creator god), centred in a dualistic cosmology of good and evil and an eschatology predicting the final end of evil.  Important characteristics of Zoroastrianism, such as messianism, punishment after death, paradise and hell, and independent mind have affected other religious systems.
