- The Fertile Crescent is a region in the Near East of great
world-historical significance. The Fertile Crescent gave birth to and sustained many great
civilizations including those of the Assyrians, Sumerians, Canaanites, Philistines,
Phoenicians/Carthaginians, Hyksos, Akkadians, Hittites, Hurrians, Mitanni, Kassites,
Arameans, Amorites, Seleucids, Nabateans, Lakhmids, Ghassanids, Ummayyads, Abbasids,
etc.... The Fertile Crescent is the place where agriculture and civilization first arose,
the birthplace of our alphabet, the place where great religions first uplifted the souls
of mankind, the home of philosophers, saints, poets, explorers and conquerors. Some of our
ancestors are among the most famous names of ancient and classical history including
Sargon, Hammurabi, AshurBanipal, Semiramis, Zeno the Stoic, Mani of Babylon, Berossus,
Dido, Hanno, Hannibal, Julia Domna, Jonas, Europa, Pygmalian, Zenobia, Lucian, Libanius,
Tatian, Nestorius, John Chrysostom, Ephraim the Syrian, Byzaab) and at least five Popes
(St. Anicetus, John V, St. Sergius, Sisinnius, and St. Gregory III). In later years our
ancestors created the great Ummayad and Abbasid civilizations which made Damascus and
Baghdad centers of world culture and learning.
