from irrigated land has survived down to the present day in Muslim law when makingtax assessment for poor relief. John Gray, near eastern mythology.

Extractions: In Biblical Canaan "on the hillsides are grown vines and lives, which, with natural pine and cedar forests in the Lebanon and Amanus, were the main products of the land. Moreover, soil which is eroded builds up fertile pockets of earth and even considerable plains. Such cultivable land was regarded as 'Baal's land', that is to say, land where cultivation depends on the activity of the god manifest in the autumn and winter rains. These rains are heralded by thunder, and 'the lord' (Baal) was known to the Canaanites by his proper name Hadad, 'the Thunderer', or Rimmon, which means the same. The term 'Baal-land' as distinct from irrigated land has survived down to the present day in Muslim law when making tax assessment for poor relief." - John Gray, Near Eastern Mythology "Baal, one of the sons of El [the chief god of the Canaanites], was the executive god of the pantheon, the god of thunder and winter storms, the dynamic warrior god who champions the divine order against the menacing forces of chaos. He is also identified with vegetation and the seasonal fertility cycle. There is little evidence in the Ras Shamra texts of the sexual license, the sympathetic magic aspects of the cult to secure the productivity of Nature, that the Bible writers found so abhorrent. On the contrary there is ample evidence that some of the aspects of Yahweh reflected aspects of Baal as the Divine King, in the destruction of the sea-serpent Leviathan and the concept of everlasting kingly dominion; even some of the liturgical language is strikingly similar, like the wording of Psalm 68: 'To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, 'his strength in the clouds', and so on.

Some special limitations apply for teaching majors. The Discipline The many countries of Asia and the Near East are among the oldest civilizations in the world. The study of the languages and cultures of these nations gives students access to some of the richest and most varied traditions of thought, belief, and behavior to be found in the world. A large percentage of the vast, essentially non-Christian segment of the world's population resides in these two zones: Asiawith its diverse heritage of belief in Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and other systems of thoughtcontinues to retain its exotic image for most Westerners, even though many nations in the region are at the forefront of contemporary politics and economics. The Near East, birthplace of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, remains a little-understood, often stereotyped area of considerable economic, strategic, and religious importance today. The languages of these regions are themselves generally difficult, with complex writing systems that require diligent study. But exposure to these languages and the cultures they express will enable students to look at the world from new perspectives and deepen their understanding of peoples whose history and practices are widely divergent from their own.

Extractions: Mesopotamia is the Land Between Two Rivers, the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. As these rivers did not flood regularly as did the Nile, life was hard and unpredictable. This can be seen in much of their art and mythology, as it is often dark and violent. The creation of the world was the result of a terrible battle in the Heavens, and many of the gods were not human at all. However, there are many similarities between the ancient Mesopotamian mythology and our own religious beliefs today. This should not surprise us, as Abraham, the Biblical Patriarch, is thought to have been a native of Ur. It was only natural that many of the important beliefs and customs should be passed down. Many of the Judeo-Christian stories have roots here. The stories of the great flood, Moses and even the creation of the world have their beginnings here. This is a fascinating culture worthy of study. I am constantly updating and adding material, so please, come back at a future date to see the new changes and additions.
