    I remember seeing it on the news and people in church saying, 'Who bombs us!' Sharm El Sheik is very beautiful by the way, Bush only goes there when in Egypt.

    I'll act like I didn't here that. Anyways, the question is Greek/Macedonian influence in the Middle East. I personally think after the conquests by Alexander, it did influece many things. I recall seeing Egyptian gods depicted in Greek-like pictures at the museum in Alexandria. I also saw an Egypto-Hellenistic knife there too.

    As I said to Pantagathus earlier I will no longer discuss religion in this forum. You will not see me in those topics and I mean it. I will be confined to Rome and the Forum Peregrini. I will obey the rules set, don't worry about that.

    I don't think you got what I said. I meant that when people are affiliated with a religion (Christianity, Judaism, Paganism, etc) it is often hard to be impartial. Instead of taking it as a part of Roman culture and history, they take it more seriously going beyond the parameters of what you (and many here) want to see discussed. I did not mean it they way you interpreted it, and see no wrong in what I said.

    Since when did the Phoenicians greatly effect the Greeks? You said much of their influence was home grown and said that Egypt had no effect on Greece, now giving that effect to the Phoenicians.

    I don't know what to say, I guess you should take away the entire religions folder because I think many take it here seriously.

    How incorrect. The Old Testament was based upon prophesies that were to happen leaving an open ended question. The New Testament completed the prophesies of the Old making it less disputed. The Old Testament comes under heavy skepticism whereas the New Testament is less disputed. Do you notice a lot of the times the Jews did not listem to God? Don't you think that is why God gave your land to the Phillistines when you did not obey?

    They've always had. Yes, and he had contact with Jews also and had distant cousins who were Jews and Christians. His tribe believed in the Moon God Allah. He decided to create his own religion taking second hand facts from Jews and Christians and creating his own religion.

    The book that UNRV kindly game me that I am currently reading, could do a review sometime: The Constitution of the Roman Republic by: Andrew Lintott. It got really good reviews and something you would be very interested with it you like Roman government. Another great book I read was Rome by: M. Rostovtzef that outlines greatly the history of the Roman Empire from the beginning to the end.

    This is all from Islamic accounts who made everything look bad to a higher degree. Today many Muslims in the Middle East rave about how they killed the Crusaders. Also remeber, although the Crusades were heavily influenced for politics there was still a certain desire to avenge the Christians who were brutally slaughtered to Muslim hand. That, you just can't deny.

    You can see much of the modern Middle East, still does use a lot of Greek thinking and ways such as the Phoenicians. The Greek language were as follow: Alpha Beta Theta In Phoenician they were: Aleph Be Th You can see the Greeks have influenced the Middle East in many ways no doubt. However you could say the same vice-versa, whoever this was through indirect ways since they never conquered Greece.

    Could it have been possible that Greeks considered you Greek, if you were like them instead of the same ethnicity? I recall a quote from a Greek philosopher: Being Greek is not so much an ethnic stock, rather a way of thinking. --Anonymous So, would not the Macedonians fit in that realm?
