Question

Why has this spot been always interesting through the history? everything happens here, Civilizations, wars, religions. there was no time that this area wasn't in the center of attention.

It's much funnier to watch a bunch of barbarians fling shit at each other than watching a bunch of civilized people getting along

Because it's in the center between east and west

>planetary zoo
We like to watch monkeys fight.

>there was no time that this area wasn't in the center of attention.
Roman Empire
1600-1900

but this area been always civilized, not now maybe but in history.

sure, but still the middle east was important during that time. Christianity started there senpai

Wasn't important during the Roman Empire until it was pretty much finished, and was irrelevant from 1600 to 1900 compared to Europe and the Americas.

this
it would suck to spawn there
but it would be the first spot to take if you want map domination

mudhammid and islam are the antithesis of civilized.

thats like, your opinion dude

you've got the wrong map, m8

I am not kidding it's because it's the original place using ideology to help win wars was first used and has since spread outwards, like Marxism and fascism.

Cute

>implying a perpetual cycle of the north trying to tax the south where all the trade is in anyway comparable to the zealotry used to brutalise the middle east

Gee wizz. It's almost like you'd think that it's the geographical crossroad between multiple civilizations, and that it had the optimal biospherical prerequisites for agriculture or something.

mohammed was alive well after the fall of Rome
before that they were all jews and christians or pagan

the Islamic calendar is like 550 years behind the conventional CE calendar

before Islam the region was pretty cool
they had Egypt, the Babylonians, the Akkadians, the Persians, the Romans and the Greeks both made their marks.

Then Mohammed and its been pretty garbage ever since.

>optimal biospherical prerequisites for agriculture
yeah only source of water is a river which unless you build huge ass dams and will flood and buttrape your crops
and when you wanna live 2km away from river because all lands near it are already owned , you have to dig a huge ass channel
you have no idea how hard it was to establish agriculture here
and how easy you got it

Used to be the fertile crescent, and it's a natural crossroads as well.

The Israeli coastline was always a major trade route for the world.

Thoughts on Kurdish independence?

I wonder if it is because it is the intersection of three continents

pic related is iraq
the geographical iraq
the genetic iraq

it was much greener and lusher 10000-5000 ya

It depends what do you mean by interesting because you can look at any location on the map and say it is interesting since there was some kind of culture, wars, power struggles ect. in its history. I don't think there is a place free of those things and what you say is interesting is then just up to you to decide.

it's at the crossroads of three continents

anything from armies through goods and ideas traveled by it

thus things were constantly happening

No you've got the wrong map m16

Pre-Colombian Argentina
Actually I'm genuinely curious if anything interesting existed there before European exploration.

Also (except for Iran and western Turkey) there are no real mountain chains to block and invasion, so once you got into the ME, you could just steamroll through it.

it looks like even dinosaurs preferred this area, hence the large oil reserve.

Crossroad of 3 continents

a result of mass amounts of pre-historic plant matter which makes sense because millions of years ago most of it would have been a shallow sea, prime location for aquatic biomass to flourish.

Who controls the Dune, controls the spice.

???

the annunaki created humans in that area, and by humans I mean caucasian people

Unironically this.

Simply because it's the point where Europe and Asia and Africa meet.

Civilization started there just because they were lucky

>just because they were lucky
so subsaharan Africans are equal to you , just unlucky to have contact with us nor starting their own civ

Never post this duck again.

>civilization starts in the middle east out of literal sand "muh luck"
>white europeans' modern development is due to their lower moral standards, propensity for sexual deviancy, violence, and systemic colonialism "but muh genetics"

what part of superior french genetics led to french people brushing their teeth with their urine?

ok mommy :(
