European Series - "Rise of Persia": Iranian Plateau, Rise of Persia
Since "Persia" will immediately represent Asia and become a big trouble for Europeans for the first time, it is necessary for us to temporarily turn our attention to the Iranian plateau to see how the "Persian Empire" was formed.

Europe Series - Geostructures of Ancient Greece
For a long time, the Mycenaean civilization only existed in the "Homer Epic" with a strong mythology.

European Series - The Development of Mycenaean Civilization and the Trojan War
A friend asked before, since the two rivers civilization influenced the Egyptian civilization, is there an early civilization in the “West Asia Rift Belt” where Lebanon and Israel are today, as the connecting corridor between the two?
