Fascinating

Who has controlled the Middle East over the course of history? Pretty much everyone. Egyptians, Turks, Jews, Romans, Arabs, Persians, Europeans...the list goes on. Who will control the Middle East today? That is a much bigger question.

  1. Spooky - I put this on Engage today, because I'd been rummaging around the earliest posts and found it there. And now I come here and discover not only that you found the exact same map, but you posted it a day before me.

    Have you posted a secret agent inside my brain?

    Where did you find it? It's from 2006...
