Thousands of years ago, many ancient cultures competed
for the scarce resources of the Middle East and Anatolian
Plateau.  Many empires flourished in this area before
being destroyed by a more technologically advanced
nation.  This area would be an endless battleground until
the Median/Persian Empire subdued the Mesopotamian 
civilizations forever.  See if your people can survive to 
the year 650 B.C. and establish a stable empire to be 
remembered for the rest of eternity.
