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

1. That's very interesting - thanks

I saw on Discovery Channel recently where the Chinese in the 600's (?) would send fleets to some of the coastal ports of Arabia and extract tribute so even the Chinese have had some control of the Mideast in some ways.

Empires never last.

2. Fabulous Find!

THis is the power of computers and the Internet, here in one little site.

Bookmark it, spread it around, it's worth all the money you've spent on computing to date!
