An ivory chess piece, excavated at a Byzantine palace in what is now southern Albania, is more than 500 years older than any previously discovered. Leaders of the University of East Anglia expedition said it proved the game had a much longer history in Europe than was previously thought. Until now chess historians had agreed that the game only became popular with the European elite during the 12th Century, 700 years after it was invented in China, India or ancient Persia. Walrus ivory The chess piece, which is only lightly damaged, was unearthed in the ancient city of Butrint. Professor Richard Hodges said: "We are wondering if it is the king or queen because it has a little cross but we are not sure."

The Cradle of Civilization I n ancient times the land area now known as modern Iraq was almost equivalent to Mesopotamia the land between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates (in Arabic, the Dijla and Furat, respectively), the Mesopotamian plain was called the Fertile Crescent. This region is known as the Cradle of Civilization; was the birthplace of the varied civilizations that moved us from prehistory to history. An advanced civilization flourished in this region long before that of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, for it was here in about 4000BC that the Sumerian culture flourished Writing evolved to keep track of property. Clay envelopes Uruk in approximately 2700 BC, is a moving story of the ruler's deep sorrow at the death of his friend Enkidu, and of his consequent search for immortality. Other central themes of the story are a devastating flood and the tenuous nature of man's existence, and ended by meeting a wise and ancient man who had survived a great flood by building an ark. Land was cultivated for the first time, early calendars were used and the first written alphabet was invented here. Its bountiful land, fresh waters, and varying climate contributed to the creation of deep-rooted civilization that had fostered humanity from its affluent fountain since thousand of years. Sumerian states were believed to be under the rule of a local god or goddess, and a bureaucratic system of the priesthood arose to oversee the ritualistic and complex religion. High Priests represented the gods on earth, one of their jobs being to discern the divine will. A favorite method of divination was reading sheep or goat entrails. The priests ruled from their

Pick a Region Middle East The term Israel refers to the territory ruled by the various Jewish monarchies in ancient times. The term was utilized again when a Jewish state was created in 1947. The specific borders of Palestine have varied under the various empires but essentially has referred to the area comprising modern-day Israel, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It is this competition for control of territory that has formed the crux of the Jewish-Palestinian conflict over the last 100 years. Jews have lived in the area called Palestine since about 2000 BC. The first Jewish monarchy was founded in 1030 BC under King Saul, and furthered under Kings David and Solomon. In 950 BC, Solomon built the First Temple. In 586 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia captured Jerusalem, destroyed the temple and forced the people into exile. In 538 the Persian king Cyrus the Great gained control and allowed the Jews to return. The Second Temple was completed in 515. Alexander the Great of Macedon (Greece) defeated the Persians (333) and established control of Egypt and Palestine. In 63 BC, the Romans took Palestine as a Roman province. The Jews revolted against the Romans in 66 AD. The rebellion was crushed and the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. In 135 AD the Jewish population of Palestine was dispersed throughout the ancient world.
