Question

Why is middel east always been centre of attraction of so many events from start of mankind?

Answer 1

Well they planted crops there and domesticated animals, so they could form larger communities, and they stayed in one place and built cities. They then developed writing as administering a city is hard using just memory. Having writing means we then have a historical record of events in the area. Big stuff may have been happening elsewhere but if no one wrote it down it was forgotten about over time.

The area is also quite dry so people tend to fight over the wetter bits. So disputes make a place more noticeable.

Finally, perhaps by chance, three major modern religions started in the area. Some parts are holy to all three, and that leads to more disputes!

Answer 2

think you may find your answer in the bible.if you dont believe in God  then read as a story .

Answer 3

hot?

Answer 4

I think it has always been the center of attention because it has had people in it for the longest. It is said that people originated in the middle east, so that is where we should naturally cling to, like fish go to a favorite breeding spot instinctively.

Answer 5

its a good question...

greece and rome were the centre many things

so its not just the middle east

also china had many things going on at the same time

i think there is a lot of emphasis on the middle east (in history too) due to religion

and religion has dominated the majority of people for 2000 years....(not china tho..or russia)

there has been so much conflict since egypt with slavery, the romans with jesus, the crusades, catholic/protestant wars in europe and still conflict today over jesus, g-d, allah, etc

and this all originated in the middle east.

passions run high with religious belief...and the beliefs arent easily bought together to co-exist

when china finally comes into the scene more we might get more balance of historical events not dominated by religion and its foundation....

china has an amazing history..and great philosophies too

it just closed itself off from the rest of the world with its great wall...to protect itself.

Answer 6

If you didnt knoe. we all originated from the middle east.

Jesus Christ himself is from Jerusalem. Palestine is the center of the world.. or as you may all know it as "Israel". And its the battle for that country that is causing all the uproar in the Middle East. Everyone wants to claim it as their own. Jews are trying to eliminate all the arabs out of the Middle East. George W. Bush by the way plays a big role in this by the way. They are trying to kill off all the arabs so that they can take over. Why Are our US Soldiers in Iraq, ask yourself. they already found that Saddam did not have nuclear weapons that they claim he had. and Plus, they killed him. so what is left for them to be in Iraq???
