2 CHAPTER 1 The Birth of Civilization in the Middle East
3 What Is a Civilization? Why Western (Civilization)?
4 ONE POSSIBLE DEFINITION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION Western Civilization is not one civilization but a series of civilizations that, over the last 5,000 years, have borrowed and built on each other. The earliest civilizations dates from 3,000 b.c.e. or about 5,000 years ago
5 WHAT FEATURES DO ALL CIVILIZATIONS SHARE? Social Stratification Writing and Written Records Large and Complex Political and Social Organizations Cities Monumental Architecture
6 KEY QUESTIONS THIS SEMESTER (WRITE THESE DOWN!) 1. What is a Civilization? 2. How does Western Civilization (WC) differ from other civilizations? How is it the same as other civilizations? 3. What do we mean when we say The West and use the verb westernize or the adjective Western? (Western imperialism, Western values, Western decadence ) 4. Is Western Civilization good or bad? Is it both? According to whom?
7 WARNING: SCIENCE USED HERE NOT CREATIONISM, HOLY BOOKS, OR MYTHOLOGY Evolution and Charles Darwin The Origin of Species (1859) Humans evolved from earlier species in their attempt to adapt to an everchanging environment. Adaptations that better fit an animal to its environment improve the chances of its survival ( survival of the fittest). Man (the genus Homo) and apes are closely related. Both are animals and like all animals, run the risk of extinction. (extinction = not adapting to a changing environment).
8 FRAMING THE HUMAN PAST: HOW OLD IS THE UNIVERSE? 14.3 Billion Years Old How old is the Milky Way Galaxy? 13.2 Billion Years Our Solar System? 5 Billion Years The Earth? 4.54 Billion Years
9 According to Science, How Old is Man? It depends on what you call man. According to paleoanthropologists, the Earliest Human-like Ancestor of Modern Man is 4.3 Million years old. Hominids a more human-like variation of the primate family, closer to modern man than to apes. Hominids appeared 2 million years ago. In the Universe as a whole, man is a new born babe.
10 WHAT FEATURES SET EARLY MAN (HOMINIDS) APART FROM OTHER MAMMALS?
11 OPPOSABLE THUMBS OR, HOW BEING ALL THUMBS WAS AN EVOLUTIONARY ADVANCE
12 BIPEDALISM OR, HOW HUMANS LEARNED TO WALK THE WALK
13 STEREOSCOPIC VISION: OR, THE BEAUTY OF OVERLAPPING VISION FIELDS
14 HUMANS AND THE PALEOLITHIC 600,000 TO 10,000 YEARS AGO For most of human history, overwhelmingly, man has lived as a hunter and gatherer. That is, he has lived in the Paleolithic Age. It was not a bad way to live, hunting and gathering: features of Paleolithic human society. Then a revolution occurred.
15 THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION 10,000 YEARS AGO The Neolithic ( New Stone ) Revolution, 10,000-c B.C.E. The neolithic is the transition from a nomadic existence as hunter-gatherers to a more settled lifestyle. Its two great achievements: Invention of agriculture Domestication of animals
16 WHAT WERE SOME OF THE KEY CONSEQUENCES OF THE AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION? Authority was in the hands of male elders who elected a chief leader Surpluses became more common, surplus wheat, milk, barley, beer. More food meant more people, more births. Wars became more violent and the cities grew. Order was difficult to maintain, hence law was created. Where did this surplus and warfare and urbanization first appear?
17 CHRONOLOGY MATTERS: PERIODS The History of Western Civilization can be broken up into three periods: 1. Ancient History = 3,000 b.c.e 500 c.e. 2. Christian Europe = 500 c.e c.e. 3. Modern Europe = 1500 c.e. Present
18 MESOPOTAMIA OR LAND BETWEEN THE RIVERS
19 SUMER ( B.C.) THE FIRST CITY-STATE IN MESOPOTAMIA Sumerians arrived in Mesopotamia by 3500 b.c.e., probably from Asia. They conquered or absorbed earlier Neolithic inhabitants. Warfare was constant: Surpluses were constant. Emergence of military chieftains by 2500 B.C. kings They built a Complex Society divided into several social groups, such as priests and warriors.
20 THE SUMERIAN SOCIAL HIERARCHY, OR THE SOCIAL PECKING ORDER Four Social Groups Existed in Ancient Society:
21 WOMEN AND MEN IN SUMER: PATRIARCHY Sumerian society, as with all the societies we will study in this class, was patriarchal. Patriarchy = Government by men. Some Sumerian women occupied powerful places in Sumerian society, but only a few. Upper class women were scribes, priestesses, queens, and traders.
22 SUMERIAN TECHNOLOGY: The plow The Wheel Metal tools And metallurgy
23 WRITING AS AN EXTENSION OF MEMORY. WRITING AS POWER Writing dates from 3100 B.C. in Sumer Develops with increased prosperity (accounting records). How to keep track of commercial transactions sales and contracts? Sumerian cuneiform ( wedge shaped ) Writing practiced only by professional scribes Illiteracy in ancient societies.
24 WHAT WRITING CREATED: THE SUMERIAN LAW CODE As Sumerian society grew, it grew chaotic. Further growth required order and rule. One of the fruits of writing was the Law. The law code was a Statement of customary rules and practices Hammurabi s Law Code (1772 b.c.e.), forerunner of the Constitution
25 MONUMENTAL ARCHITECTURE = POWER Now Sumerian Ziggurat American Skyscraper Then
26 EGYPT At the same time that Sumer and the Mesopotamian City States were growing and spreading (about 3000 b.c.e.), a people and a country to the South were flourishing.
27 LAND OF THE PHARAOHS: EGYPT For two thousand years in Egypt, continuity and stability reigned -- from 3100 to 1200 b.c. This civilization arose around the Nile and its annual flooding. It too, like Sumer, was a River- Valley civilizations. Two distinct geographical sections exist in Egypt upper Egypt (the Valley) and Lower Egypt (the Delta) At about 3100 B.C., the two sections were unified under a single king or pharoah. Ancient Egypt, the empire, was born.
28 GOVERNMENT BY A GOD-KING ( B.C.) The Egyptian king or monarch was called Pharaoh a divine king. All Pharaohs were sons of the sun-god Re, king of all the other gods and goddesses. Pharaohs were appointed by the gods to conduct the rituals and sacrifices that won the favor of the gods. If the gods were worshipped, food grew and life went on. All pharaohs were supposed to possess Ma at a divine aura or magnetism that brought stability and harmony.
29 EGYPTIAN SOCIAL PYRAMID
30 EGYPT WAS THE MOST ENDURING OF THE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS 3100 TO 1200 BCE Ancient Egypt lasted almost 2000 years before being conquered. Old Kingdom ( ) begins about 2700 B.C. Middle Kingdom ( ) begins about 2060 B.C. New Kingdom ( ) reestablished about 1570 B.C.
31 RELIGION: THE BASIS OF PHARAOH S AUTHORITY Polytheism was the norm in ancient times. Egypt had over 300 gods. Egyptian gods were originally conceived in the form of animals and later often bore animal heads or bodies The gods arose from families that mirrored earthly families Ra first pharoah Geb (the earth) and Nut (the sky) = Egyptian first couple. Geb (below) and Nut (above) The son of Geb and Nut was Osiris. Osiris married his sister, Isis. See the Primary Source on the First Creation. Osiris
32 Other Aspects of Egyptian Religion: The Final Reckoning or Judgment For Egyptians, an afterlife existed. The soul of the deceased stands before Osiris, ruler of the underworld The heart (character) of the dead person was weighed to measure the soul s truthfulness If the soul passed judgment, it was admitted to everlasting life in a garden of paradise; otherwise, it was cast into the crocodile jaws of a monster
33 EGYPTIAN WRITING: HIEROGLYPHICS Pictogram ideogram phonogram
34 EGYPTIANS WERE VERY ADVANCED WHEN IT CAME TO TECHNOLOGY AS THIS TOMB PAINTING SHOWS.
35 SOME KEY POINTS TO CHAPTER 1 Western Civilization is not one civilization, but a series of civilizations. The first and most important of these civilizations arose by 3,000 b.c. in two places Sumer and Egypt, in the Middle East and Africa. Sumer s civilization was a model for most of those that followed in Mesopotamia, such as the Akkadians, Assyrians, and Persians empires. What all had in common: polytheism, monarchy, writing, complex social and economic systems, a vast surplus of grain and goods. Each was overtaken by cultures that absorbed and improved on the earlier civilizations.
36 READING PRIMARY SOURCES: A STARTER KIT
37 WHAT HISTORIANS DO They study evidence of the past in order to understand it. Being the Detective They then represent the past to reflect their understanding of it. Books Documentaries Museum exhibits films
38 Almost all of the past has been destroyed. What remains of it is precious. What do these precious remains of the past mean?
39 It comes in many shapes and sizes. WHAT IS EVIDENCE?
40 A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT In this class, I want you to be a historian in training. What do historians do? 1. They analyze the evidence of the past 2. They try to understand the past 3. They attempt to convey or pass on their understanding of the past to others. Approach each historical source or document in our class with an open mind, as if you are the first historian to find and to interpret it. Be the detective. Extract as much info about the past from your sources.
41 ANCIENT ISRAEL Judaism
42 CONNECTIONS: THREE GREAT LEGACIES OF THE MIDDLE EASTERN CIVILIZATIONS Monotheism under the Israelites The spread of civilization from the Middle East and Africa to the Mediterranean. Civilization = writing, cities, metallurgy, complex social and political organization, monarchy, monumental architecture, etc.
43 THE BIG PICTURE Ancient Israel is the birthplace of the 3 great monotheistic religions of the world: Judaism, Christianity and Islam Great patriarchs of Judaism: Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua Hebrews, Israelites, Jews, Semites: have all undergone persecution throughout history; from Babylonian Captivity, Exodus, Diaspora, Spanish Inquisition, Holocaust
44
45 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Ancient Israel is the birthplace of the 3 great monotheistic religions of the world: Judaism, Christianity and Islam Ancient Israel dates back approximately 4000 years to the books of the Old Testament Great patriarchs of Judaism: Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua Hebrews, Israelites, Jews, Semites: have all undergone persecution throughout history; from Babylonian Captivity, Exodus, Diaspora, Spanish Inquisition, Holocaust
46 WHAT IS IN A NAME? Hebrew means From across - name given to Abraham and his followers Israelites: Abraham s grandson Jacob renamed Israel which means he who has wrestled with God. His descendants were called Israelites Jews: named after Jacob s son Judah, ancient father of tribe of King David s dynasty
47 CHRONOLOGY ONE TOOL OF THE HISTORIAN AN ISRAELITE TIMELINE 1800 b.c.e. - Abraham traveled to Canaan (that is, Palestine) 1200 b.c.e. - Moses appeared among Hebrews in Egypt -- the Exodus The appearance of the Ten Commandments to Moses; Hebrews wander desert for 40 years 1020 b.c.e. - Saul named first king of Israel, soon to be followed by David and Solomon. ( b.c.e.) 722 b.c.e. -- Israel defeated by the Assyrians 587 b.c.e. -Judah falls to Chaldeans; Destruction of the first Temple. This leads to the Diaspora 515 b.c.e - the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem
48 ABRAHAM AND YAHWEH Nomadic tribes wandered into Palestine from east in approximately 1900 BCE Mesopotamian society dominated by polytheism, by many of gods. One of these local gods was called Yahweh. Yahweh commands Abraham to go and raise a great nation and to worship only Yahweh.
49 Abraham s Journeys
50 YAHWEH: UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL One of many gods in Mesopotamia A jealous god The slow evolution towards monotheism: b.c.e. Characteristics: Universal and exclusive A negotiator An ethical god All-knowing, everpresent, unknowable Is jealous
51 MOSES & EXODUS: LET MY PEOPLE GO! Moses received revelations from God: burning bush, rod / staff, 10 plagues, parting of the Red Sea End of 13 th century BCE- Moses led the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt during Rames II reign called the EXODUS Moses led the 12 Tribes of Israel to Mount Sinai where Yahweh gave him the 10 Commandments, uniting the Hebrews under one God Moses and Hebrews searched for the Promised Land or the land of milk and honey, however they wandered in the desert for 40 years
52 KINGS OF ISRAEL 1020 BCE: first king of Israelites was Saul, then David, then Solomon King Solomon built the Temple of Jerusalem to house the Arc of the Covenant (sacred box to hold the Torah) Solomon s Temple was destroyed during Babylonian invasion Only remaining part of Solomon s Temple is the Western Wall
53 THE PERIOD OF THE JUDGES AND KING SAUL 12 th and 13 th centuries B. C. E. : Hebrews were led by tribal leaders, called the Judges. This group defended several groups against invasion, thus serving as a force for political unity. Great progress toward national unity was accomplished by the first king of Israel, Saul (c B. C. E.), who banded the people together against their common enemy, the Philistines.
54 PERIOD OF THE HEBREW KINGS BCE Israelites united against Philistines Saul, first Israelite king Never won full support David, second king Strong king, gifted poet Solomon, David s son Israel reached height of wealth
55 ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF KING DAVID (1000 TO 960 B. C. E.) As a young man, David established himself as a hero; the book of Samuel tells of David the shepherd boy killing the Philistine giant Goliath with a slingshot. Hebrew Scripture attributes most of the poetry in the book of Psalms to David, who sang and played the lute. As King of Israel he had many achievements: A united kingdom of clans Many military victories He established Jerusalem as Israel s national capital Created the first successful Jewish kingdom Founded a dynasty (succeeded by his son, Solomon)
56 KING SOLOMON Reign from B. C. E. Reign called The Golden Age of Israel King Solomon is known for his grace and wisdom Reign was a time of peace and prosperity: Israelites fortified their cities Temple of Jerusalem was built
57 Inside Solomon s Temple The Ark of the Covenant
58 DIVISION AND CONFLICT: B.C.E. Conflict after Solomon s death Two kingdoms, Israel and Judah 722 BC, Israel fell to Assyrians 586 BC, Judah fell to Chaldeans Chaldeans enslaved Jews Diaspora = scattering of Jews Persians conquered Chaldeans
59 CYRUS THE PERSIAN Captured Babylon in 539 B. C. E., allowed the Hebrews in captivity to return to Jerusalem in 538 B. C. E. The region was ruled by outsiders such as Persians, Greeks, and Ptolemies.
60 LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL After the death of Solomon, Kingdom of Israel split into two (north= Israel; south= Judah) Israel was conquered by Assyrians in 722 BCE and the scattered people were known as the Lost Tribes of Israel Judah was eventually destroyed by Babylon in 586 BCE and inhabitants were held in captivity (called the Exile or Babylonian Captivity) Emergence of synagogues and rabbis during Exile Released by Persians in 538 BCE and returned to Jerusalem to rebuild temple
61 Israelites in Captivity
62 THE DIASPORA CHANGES THE ISRAELITES PERMANENTLY Israelites flee to Egypt, Babylon, Asia Minor, etc. They are a people without a country or capital or even the Hebrew language. They are bound by their Religion Covenant Rituals Spiritual guides or prophets The Torah is compiled (see next slide)
63 The Torah The first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible. The most sacred text in the Jewish religious tradition.
64 THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY For the Jewish people, the Babylonian Captivity brought much sorrow and some hard feelings. Psalm 137: By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down and there we wept when we remembered Zion. On the willows there we hung up our harps. For there our captors asked us for songs, and our tormentors asked for mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" How could we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither! Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy. Remember, O Lord, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalem's fall, how they said, "Tear it down! Tear it down! Down to its foundations!" O daughter Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall they be who pay you back what you have done to us! Happy shall they be who take your babies and dash them against the rock! During the Babylonian Exile, the Jewish people had to rethink their belief system. This rethinking led to the emergence of rabbinical Judaism.
65 THE ISRAELITES BY 537 B.C.E. (2547 YEARS AGO) After 537 b.c.e. and the diaspora, Rabbinical Judaism took off and redefined Judaism. Priestly status inherited and priests formed a powerful aristocracy Jews became more devout in following the laws of righteousness and ritual purity in the Torah Judaism became more of a religious than national group Impact of exile Chosen People Messiah, Anointed One
66 The Temple Mount, Jerusalem Today The Wailing Wall
67 IMPACT OF ANCIENT ISRAEL Covenant = formal agreement between Hebrews and God (Yahweh); Hebrews worshipped God and only God, and in return, they would be God s Chosen People and given Canaan as the Promised Land Spiritual ideas profoundly influenced Western culture, morality, ethics and conduct Three of the world s most dominant religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam all derive their roots from the spiritual beliefs of the Ancient Israelites
68 SPIRITUAL LEGACY OF THE HEBREWS Religion the foundation of Hebrew and Jewish societies Belief in One God Monotheism Justice and Righteousness Kindness, fairness, code of ethics Obedience to the Law Ten Commandments, Mosaic Law Jewish Sacred Texts Torah, Talmud
69 SOME KEY POINTS TO CHAPTER 1 Western Civilization is not one civilization, but a series of civilizations. The first and most important of these civilizations arose by 3,000 b.c. in two places Sumer and Egypt. Sumer s civilization was a model for most of those that followed in Mesopotamia, such as the Akkadians, Assyrians, and Persians What all had in common: polytheism, monarchy, writing, complex social and economic systems, a vast surplus of grain and goods.
70 SOME KEY POINTS TO CHAPTER 1 All these civilizations were based in river valleys. In time, the Egyptian and Mesopotamian kingdoms were united, violently, into Universal Empires. See Assyria, but especially Persia. The Hebrews, though a small group of people who were scattered throughout the Middle East, develop an ethical, monotheistic god.
71 IN TIME, KINGDOMS WERE JOINED TO KINGDOMS. THIS LED TO SUPER-KINGDOMS OR EMPIRES The First Universal Empires
72 THE FIRST UNIVERSAL EMPIRES: ASSYRIA AND PERSIA By 1200 b.c.e. Mesopotamia suffered massive turmoil. Why? Invasions B.C. the Hittite kingdom in Asia Minor is invaded by newcomers Invaders proceed on to Syria, Palestine and Egypt Disrupted trade and commerce Shortage of tin led metalworkers to use iron as they developed new methods of smelting. Led to the Iron Age Used archers and spearmen riding horses
73 INVASIONS.( B.C.E) In Mesopotamia, Sematic nomads (Aramaeans from Syria and Chaldeans from Arabia) invaded as well. By 900 b.c.e. Aramaeans conquered the north and the Chaldeans conquered the south The Aramaeans adopted the ways of the Mesopotamians and created a number of prosperous city-states that dominated land trade throughout the Middle East
74 BUT CIVILIZATION GREW ALONG THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST, PHOENICIANS ESTABLISHED SEABORNE TRADE Merchant vessels and oar-powered warships with bronze-tipped rams Phoenician merchants traveled Mediterranean Sea and into the Atlantic Created colonies in Africa and Spain Carthage in North Africa Alphabet 30 signs developed in the Middle East as an improvement to Egyptian hierglyphics After 1200 B.C. Aramaeans brought the alphabet to Mesopotamia The Phoenicians passed on alphabetic writing to less advanced western people
75 FINALLY, ONE POWER ROSE UP: ASSYRIA ( B.C.) Assyrians were a Semitic people arriving from Arabia to the middle and upper Tigris River about 3000 B.C. Settled along trade and invasion routes Began as farmers, herders, and traders but became tough soldiers defending their land
76 THE ASSYRIAN AND NEOBABYLONIA N EMPIRES
77 THE RISE OF ASSYRIA Assyrians created a universal empire beginning 900 B.C. with the defeat of the Aramaeans and by the seventh century B.C. reached Palestine and most of Egypt Ninevah was their capital. Assyria ruled by instilling fear in its enemies. The blood ran freely. Hence, Assyria was eventual destroyed by the Chaldeans and Medes by the end of the seventh century B.C. Few wept but WC was passed on through the Assyrians.
78 THE ASSYRIAN STATE First truly military state All adult males were subject to military service War was glorified Mixed Force: chariots, light and heavy infantry, cavalry, battering rams, and movable siege towers Assyrian state was too small to control their large territory and compensated with terror to enforce its rule Conquered lands organized into provinces with Assyrian nobles appointed as governors
79 THOUGH ASSYRIA HAD CONSOLIDATED MANY KINGDOMS, IT IN TURN WAS CONSOLIDATED BY Persia
80 PERSIA ( B.C.) After the Chaldeans liberated Babylonia, there was a rebirth of industry and arts King Nebuchadrezzar was the Chaldean king. Media and Persia formed the western part of a vast plateau in Asia Minor. This area was rich in metals and agriculture i.e. weapons and food. Medes helped the Chaldeans crush the Assyrians
