MESOPOTAMIA? URUK? IRAQ! MY TAKE ON THE WAR

• Mesopotamia: The cradle of Civilization
• Mesopotamia means "the land between two rivers"
• From about 10,000 BC towards the end of the last Ice age this Near Eastern land mass was especially suited to irrigation and spanned Egypt, Canaan and Mesopotamia in the main.
• By 6,000 BC the Mesopotamians had mastered using ships in the open Sea, no wonder marine insurance originated from there.
• The Bible book of Genesis ratifies that recorded Cultural history begun in the mentioned countries, by the way GENESIS introduced in the Greek Bible of 3 BC means 'origin' or 'beginning'.
• Abraham who I mentioned in one of my previous blogs was a native of Mesopotamia. Genesis 11:31 says he came from Ur of the Chaldees.
• Mesopotamia was divided into two main regions that is Northern Mesopotamia or Assyria with its Central region called Akad (North of Babylon) where present day Baghdad sits and Southern Mesopotamia also identified as SUMER, and this is the area where the early patriarchs (Adam, Noah and Abraham) prevailed. The foremost city of ancient Sumer was Uruk (Modern day Warka) from which the country's eventual name IRAQ is derived.
• The mighty technical and academic revolution of Southern Mesopotamia has long baffled scholars and historians worldwide.
• For example from within the ruins of the Ziggurat of Ur (Abraham was descended from the daughter of the great King Un-nammu who built the Temple of Ur) were found such documents relating to lawyers, taxation, mill owners, shopkeepers, educational, medical and even mathematical calculators! tables for extracting square and cube roots and triangular formulae, and this before Jesus time folks!

Now I look at the war and think: this land is holier than Israel as relates to the origins of the Abrahamic faiths (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) and even the Baha'i faith that attempts a Unity of religions, now you tell me what this war is about! just a dictator, oil, liberation, weapons of mass destruction etceteras, maybe not! Now hold that thought and tell me: do you then see the Islamic Arabs giving in to the mighty USA on this one?....... its going to be a long bloody one, I hope someone gives soon. In the meanwhile the human toll is too much and still rising.
