World archeology and ancient human history, that statement win raise some eyebrows. ; For decades, we have rather heard a steady mantra that Mesopotamia (particularly the lands of present-daIraq between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers) is where rivi- Hzalion began. Here was Ur, the apparent birthplace of Abraham, and the claimed location of the Tower of BabeL The Garden of Eden, goes a variety of claims, lay at the site of present-da- y Basra and extended out into the area now covered by the upper end of the Persian Gulf. Further up the valleys lay the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (about 55 miles south of Baghdad). Upstream from , modern Baghdad lay the ancient city of Nineveh, and a legendary site for the tomb of Jonah. We have heard how civilization began here, with the ; . Turkmenistan. ancient cultures of the Sumerians, Assyrians, Akkadians and Babylonians. And though they are rightly celebrated for their early cities and social structure, it must be recognized also that these were some of the most brutal cultures of record. But that is another story. , For today, lets follow our opening line. It comes from the Aug. 3 issue of Science, an extensive article entitled Middle Asia Tidies Center Stage. Middle Asia, I gather, covers the southern portions of Asia, extending basically from Mesopotamia (roughly the eastern border of Iraq) eastward through Iren, Afghani- stan, Pakistan and to about the Indus River. Turkmenistan, on the immediate east of the Caspian Sea, also gets into the act. : The basic thrust of the new argument, given major focus at a recent conference in Ravenna, Italy, is that Mesopotamia was only one of a number of ancient cultures strung all across Middle Asia which were developing essentially in concert. Extensive trade routes connected these cultures. Central to the entire issue . is the recent discovery of an ancient city south of present-day Jiroft in southeastern Iran. Considerable tooting in 2001 of ancient cemeteries led researchers there, where, after five seasons digging, there seems to be the remains of a cky contemporaneous wkh Ur and equally advanced and impressive.
