Iron Age Empires
Following the collapse caused by the raids of the Sea Peoples, the Phoenicians, with their alphabet, and the Hebrews, with their monotheism and concern with ethics, also made lasting contributions. Finally, the successive empires of the Assyrians, Babylonians, and Persians made further innovations based upon the ideas of their predecessors about warfare, ways of governing, and culture. The Persian kings had united the region by 500 B.C. to create an empire that encompassed the diverse cultures and heritages.
