Description:

This course examines the historical roots of the Middle East, from the earliest recorded information about its ancient civilizations to the dawn of the modern era, concluding with Napoleon's conquest of Egypt in 1798. In between, we will learn about the historical and cultural foundations established by the pre-Islamic empires and monotheistic faiths, the coming of Islam and the Islamic conquests, the heights of Middle Eastern civilization, the Crusades and Mongol conquests, the Gunpowder Empires, and the Ottoman Middle East. Although this is an upper-division class, no previous background knowledge of Middle East history is necessary.
