The role of Nomads• Civilization thrived in central Asia around 4,000
years ago.– On the fringes of these civilizations lived pastoral
nomads.– Pastoral Nomads are people who domesticate animals
for food and clothing.• They regularly migrate to provide their animals a steady supply
of food.
– People living in settled communities viewed the pastoral nomads as hostile and barbaric.• The two groups would interact in order to trade.

The Israelites• South of the Phoenicians lived the Israelites.– Under King Solomon, Israel reached its greatest power.• He expanded to control all of Palestine, strengthened the
government, and encouraged trade.

people to different areas, resulting in them losing their identity.• The Kingdom of Judah was conquered by the Chaldeans.• They destroyed Jerusalem.
– When the Persians conquered the Chaldeans, they allowed the people of Judah to return and rebuild Jerusalem.

The Jews• Despite being conquered several times, the people
of Judah survived.– They became known as the Jews, a stateless religion
based on the belief that God was not fixed to one land.– The Jews were monotheistic; they believed in one God.
• The Jews would not accept the gods of their conquerors and refused to be part of another community.– The Jews refused loyalty to other political leaders,
creating a separation between them and their non-Jewish neighbors.
