Abstract: Luxury is considered to be a normal phenomenon in many developed and progressive civilizations, especially that of ancient Iraq. It is quite normal for human beings to seek a better life with comfortable means in order to achieve enjoyment. Consequently, luxury means enjoying life with luxurious food, clothes, accommodation and power. The present study sheds light on different aspects of life in Mesopotamia and how luxuriously that community lived. Moreover, it deals with economic, social and political prosperity as well as ideological development. Luxury has its own features in every era; so we can find it out by exploring material signs at each era of in Mesopotamian history.The reason behind choosing that subject is to explore an important side of the development and progress in Iraqi civilization so as to show luxury and prosperity in Iraq society and their consequences. Moreover, there is no academic specific study that tackles that topic since some studies deal with such a topic but from different perspective despite the fact that there are a lot of texts and tablets.The study consists four chapters. The first one deals with the term luxury’ as a concept and linguistically; whereas the second chapter pinpoints the aspects of luxury in the third millennium BC. The third chapter deals with aspects of luxury in the second millennium BC. As for the fourth chapter, it tackles the aspect of luxury in the first millennium BC. The study has come up with some important conclusions. One these results is that luxury is closely related to social life since luxury starts in the community and ends and prominently emerges from political power. Besides, the study concludes that luxury is clearly shown by Iraqi people taste, inclinations and their love for art and beauty. Moreover, it seems that the common Iraqi individual used to taste the fine art in general and Iraqi princes and kings in particular who always tried to appear in an elegant royal way

Abstract: There is no doubt that the ancient Egyptian history is full of personalities who had a prominent and clear role in laying the foundations of the Egyptian state in the imperial era, including King Tuthmosis I, who set the policy of Egypt in its imperial era after a series of military campaigns in Nubia, Syria and Libya. The importance of this subject was highlighted by King Tuthmosis I (1504 - 1492 BC). This study sheds light on his exceptional leadership, through which he managed to expand the borders of the Egyptian state and annex large tracts of land to the borders of his kingdom. By the Hyksos because of the weakness of the eastern front of Egypt represented by the country of Syria, which was the main reason for the entry of the Hyksos to the Egyptian territory, which led him to fight them and the openness to a foreign policy more expansive than the treaties of the two old and central countries reflected on a large extent on the economic and cultural side in ancient Egypt The reason for the increase of state resources through the tribute imposed on those countries that entered under the sovereignty of the Egyptian state under the reign of King Tuthmosis I contributed greatly to the building and building of architectural and artistic achievements and monuments.Tuthmosis I, the first king of Egypt, delineated the borders of Egypt from the south of Nubia to the inverse waters of the country of Syria. The first kings of Egypt also reached the Euphrates River and were surprised by the river opposite the Nile. In Egypt, so they called it the reverse water after a series of military campaigns that led to the country of Nuba and the country of Syria as well as Libya.The study focused on more than one method of starting the comparative approach because of the differences of opinion of historians in determining the historical year of the reign of King Tuthmosis I, as well as the difference of opinions on the percentages because of the existence of two ideas or two historical phenomena in order to identify the historical fact according to scientific treatment, Historical facts.There is no doubt that there is a number of insufficient information, despite the short period of time of the reign of King Tuthmosis I, represented by the hieroglyphic texts contained in the various Arab and foreign references, which require reading, collecting, compiling, analyzing and coordinating them, which requires and is consistent with the subject of the research, which is based on a complex approach, "To reach the scientific facts based on the historical data achieved in this prosperous era.Do not miss the opportunity in this letter to show the most important difficulties and problems are the short period of the reign of King Tuthmosis I, which requires the provision of references with the problem of translation, especially from the German and French? And the absence of a comprehensive study in Iraq, showing the main issues related to the subject and the lack of historical references in Iraq, which talk about the subject, which requires the use of the Egyptian side illustrate the problems contained in the letter?The nature of the research was divided into five chapters, as well as introduction and preface : The introduction dealt with the "historical and temporal sequence of King Tuthmosis the First", which lasted twelve years and nine months (1504 - 1492 BC).The first chapter was "The Personal Life of King Tuthmosis the First", which included two subjects dealing with the first topic, his name and title titles, and the second topic to his family.The second chapter dealt with the internal policy of Egypt during the reign of King Tuthmosis the First.

Abstract: Religious thought is the basis for most of the systems that existed in ancient Iraq, such as the political system, the military regime, and even the economic and social systems. These systems had secretions and results, especially the military regime characterized by the history of ancient Iraq throughout its periods and the diversity of countries that ruled it.Those secretions that resulted from the military are the victories achieved by the kings of Iraq and what followed the victories of the rituals and practices of the practice of the kings of Mesopotamia, which were different goals and motives and motives, including religious, political, media or psychological motivation, This study is intended to shed light on the most important rituals, practices and motives that the ancient kings of Iraq have established.Research problem : The research attempts to shed light on the most important rituals and practices that are usually associated with the military campaigns waged by the kings of ancient Iraq during their ruling. These rituals and practices were motivated by various reasons, religious, psychological, political or even for media purpose.Reasons for choosing a topic : There are several reasons why we have chosen this topic particularly, these reasons are : 1 - There is no comprehensive study similar to this one and this subject itself.2 - Exploring the most important rituals and practices that resulted from the military campaigns in ancient Iraq and then exploring the most important motives behind them.3 - the comprehensiveness of the topic in terms of covering the historical period ) 3333 - 535 B.C. )4 - To enrich the Arabic libraries with such studies, especially if we know that they take the analytical aspect into consideration by knowing the motives of the rituals and practices of the victorious king in ancient of Iraq.Search Hypothesis : This study came to answer as much as possible the questions that may occur in the mind of the reader and follower of the history of ancient Iraq, including.1 - What are the rituals and practices of Iraq's ancient kings in the event of a military campaign against any of the countries of the ancient Near East?2 - If there are rituals and practices before the military campaign and the second and then or was it specialized in time without another?3 - What are the implications of doing such rituals and practices?4 - Were these rituals and practices varied or at one pace?What motivates them to perform such rituals and practices? 56 - Is the principle of continuity and repetition that characterized the ancient civilization of Iraq also included those rituals and practices through successive descendants?Research Methodology : This study was not limited to one methodology only, but included several scientific approaches adopted by the researcher in his study : 1 - descriptive approach : review of some military campaigns in the history of ancient Iraq, as well as the statement of the connection of some rituals and practices military campaigns and it was a requirement of victory or as a result.2 - Analytical Approach : This study required to stand on some texts that were specific to the military campaigns and then analyze their contents and analyze the motives that called upon the victorious kings to perform these rituals and practices.The nature of the research has to be divided into four chapters as well as the introduction and the preface. It also included the most important conclusions that emerged from this study. In the introduction, we discussed the origin of the word weather and ritual in the language dictionaries, whether the old languages ??or the Arabic language and the English language. The most important uses of this word.The First Chapter : dealt with the most important rituals and practices of the Iraqi kings who achieved victories in the third millennium BC, whether among the states of the cities that were in control of that period or between the city and other outside the geographical area of ??ancient Iraq, divided into two sections : The era of the dawn of the dynasties until the establishment of the Akkadian state The second topic has been related to those rituals and practices since the emergence of the Akkadian state until the fall of the Third Ur dynasty.The Second chapter deals with the rituals and practices of the victorious king during the second millennium BC. It came in the form of two sections. The first : rituals and practices in the old Babylonian period (2334 - 1555). 1555 BC until the establishment of the modern Assyrian state in. 511 B.C.The third chapter, which is the most important chapters of the thesis, deals with the rituals and practices of the victorious since the establishment of the Assyrian state in 511 BC until the creation of the dynasty Sergonia in 121 BC. The second section, in which he presented the rituals and practices of the victorious king since the establishment of the Sergonic dynasty 121 BC until the end of the modern Babylonian era. 535 B.C.The fourth chapter discussing the most important motives that led the ancient kings of Iraq to do such rituals and practices, and it came in the first two parts : It shows the religious and political motives for the rituals and practices of the victorious king. The second topic is devoted to talking about the media and psychological motives of the rituals and practices of the victorious king. In this chapter there is some overlapping in the information and citations of motives. The reason is that the rituals and practices cited in more than one place, for example, the art and media motives can be at the same time the psychological motivations. To encourage the fighters to enter the battles and then to win them and so on in the other motives.The research was based on several Arab and foreign sources that were the basis for the collection of information.The first is the book of Taha Baqer (Introduction to the History of Ancient Civilizations). This book has a great impact on enriching the research in terms of accuracy and availability of the book.Among the other Arabic books is the book Nael Hanoun (Historical and Literary Cuneiform Texts), which is an important source of cuneiform texts, especially since the author of the book relied on the translation of texts from ancient Sumerian and Akkadian languages ??into Arabic directly. This method of translation helps not to lose Information from cuneiform texts.As for the foreign books translated into Arabic, the first of these books is the book of Samuel Noah Kramer (Sumerians history, civilization and characteristics), since the substantive analysis relied on by the author of the book and its dependence on the main cuneiform texts gave the book importance, making it an important resource for the research.Among the other books is Antoine Mortakat's Ancient History of the Near East, which had an important impact on the history of the Near East and the nature of its relationship with Iraq in its ancient history, as well as the book Antoine Mortakat (Art in Ancient Iraq) (Sumer art and culture) and (Ashur world of forms major civilizations), which was one of the specialized books in the field of ancient Iraqi art, which enriched the research in terms of information and pictures and supplements on which the researcher relied, as well as a collection of books by Harry Saks And the power of Assyria and Babylonians It is considered one of the most objective works in presenting ideas and opinions pertaining to the history of ancient Iraq.As for the foreign books, the research reported a number of the book A.Kirk Grayson (The Royal Inscriptions ofMesopotamia) in all parts, which carries a shortcut RIMA. Which was an important source of the texts of the kings and their properties that were written through the history of ancient Iraq, as well as the book D. D. Luckenbill, Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylon (ARAB)), which also contributed to the research of the royal texts of the kings of ancient Iraq.And I do not deny that I faced some difficulties because the recruitment of the results of the military campaigns as rituals and practices and the difference between them needed to have some of the thinking and accuracy in dealing with those results as well as the analysis of the motives behind the rituals and practices also needed to be accurate in the examination, especially if we know Overlapping by quoting them

Abstract: Agriculture, or as it is called, is the agricultural revolution as it changed human life in the ancient world in all its aspects. Before agriculture, man was a traveler who did not know stability and relied on his strength to collect what is accessible from plants or animals. It crystallizes in man and changed his life to economic, social and religious. The ancient Egypt was an important cultural center in the ancient Near East, which achieved an important civilization achievement for the Egyptian human life. It could not achieve this achievement without the availability of a geographical environment suitable for agriculture. The first is the availability of sufficient water to the Nile River, Agriculture .We can not say that the conditions of the geographical environment in ancient Egypt led only to agriculture. We do not underestimate the role of the Egyptian man, who was able to employ these different environmental factors to serve agriculture. Saying : "Learn not one is born a Scientist "( ) The second innovation that was associated with the establishment of agriculture was what the Egyptian produced and invented from machines and tools that facilitated agriculture. He also succeeded in controlling the flood of the Nile River and faced another important problem namely water scarcity. He tried to store the water at the time of the flood , And thus moved to rely on industrial irrigation and mechanization by raising water to agricultural land.Research problem . Was the problem of research in the important question, was agriculture in ancient Egypt, a local innovation or it entered Egypt as a result of friction and the transfer of the old man with other centers of civilization, and whether agriculture in ancient Egypt was contemporaneous with agriculture in the important cultural centers in the ancient Near East, , And the Levant. The extent of the oldest fossils found from wheat and barley grains, whether they are domesticated or natural spread in many areas of the ancient Near East, these questions we tried to answer in this research. The importance of the subject is due to the lack of a study on agriculture in ancient Egypt, one of the important elements of civilization, this subject prompted us to research it and try to clarify its different aspects. The method used in the research, the nature of the subject, requires us to diversify in the testing of a research method, when we want to know the origins of plants, we need to take a comparative approach to know where these grains and spread, and sometimes take the descriptive approach in the description of machines and agricultural tools, To reach the closest scientific opinion to put it right in the research and discussion. According to the requirements of the completion of the research topic section into four chapters and conclusion. The first chapter deals with the factors affecting the start and development of agriculture in the Nile Valley, which is divided into four fields. The first topic is : The climate and its impact on the start and development of agriculture in ancient Egypt. The second topic : Agricultural lands in the Nile Valley countries. The second chapter deals with the beginning of agriculture and its development, which is also divided into three topics : the first is : agriculture in prehistoric times, the second topic : the development of agriculture in historical times, and the third topic : agricultural operations, , Chapter III : Care in the Department of Agriculture and Irrigation, also divided into three areas, the first topic : the management of agricultural land, the second topic : Department of Irrigation, the third topic : the farmer in ancient Egypt and its social status. In this chapter, we observed the extent to which agriculture reflected the religious life of the ancient Egyptian. This chapter is divided into three sections, namely, the first topic : Goddesses and Feast of Fertility, and the second topic : the gods and the festivals of the harvest and its rituals. The third topic : gods of water and flood .

The first years of his reign faced incidents and many changes that represented in the outbreak of revolutions and upheavals that he managed to eliminate quickly and united the Achaemenid Empire under his rule again. And this is evidence of his military ability and experience. Xerxes followed his father's path of expansion projects in Europe.The subject of this research was discussed in three chapters. The first chapter was devoted to the study of king Xerxes and his early life and career; that the first part discussed his name and his royal titles and the nature of his upbringing and the kind of education he received in the palace of women which had the greatest impact of women on his life and particularly the effect his mother brought. The second section had discussed the mandate of the Covenant and the problems he faced before he took the crown that he could make it with efforts of his mother (Atoosa) and his uncle (Artbaat), who had agreed to take Dara's first son away and to put Xerxes in his place as crown prince.The second chapter studied the states of the Achaemenid in the reign of Xerxes I. So, the first part dealt with the most important administrative divisions and the states of the Achaemenid Empire because Xerxes changed the policy of his father concerning the administration of provinces that he undermining many states making them insignificant states, and no state been added during his reign than those of his father. The second part dealt with administrative functions in the Achaemenid Empire as his time is marked with the strength work of these positions and those occupants significant work especially in his last years. And the third one dealt with the financial management of money and taxes and other taxes that increased because wars increased during his reign, especially the war with Greece and the more money usage. The third chapter discussed Xerxes policy with Babylon and Egypt and Greece, and it came into two sections; the first on the policy of dealing with Babylon and Egypt, and how he cruelly dealt with these two states and his pulling out all the prerogatives that Babylon lost all its political and religious status during his reign and its national governance ended. However, Egypt is just like Babylon, that it was considered as a state of non - importance and its status was neglected. In addition, the second section discussed Xerxes's policy towards Greece, starting with introductions of wars and battles and results of the wars and their impact on the Achaemenid Empire. Because such wars considered as a setback for the state of the Achaemenid Empire, and the failure of Xerxes in those wars led to the weakness and lack of self - confidence that led him to leave to the Palace of women and leaving ruling behind, however, the staff and the women in the Achaemenid court worked to rule until he was killed by them.

Abstract: Throughout human history, religion has always been a mirror of the evolution of human and space attracts all spiritual and intellectual activity; the reflections of human philosophy, ethical value and the perceptions metaphysical all are flowing into the religion and expresses itself through mediated beliefs and rituals, so we cannot understand ancient people if we neglect studying them. The first religious beliefs landmarks appeared in the ancient Near East, starting from the Neolithic period, which witnessed the first revolution in human life consisted of agricultural revolution coincided with the emergence of the first beliefs. Women made the first religious perception taken the form of a goddess portrayed with dolls made of clay, so the first idol was associated with fertility, it was paired with land, which is the mother the truth of the human person and of all cosmic manifestations of living; life came out of it and go back to it, for this the female was included the first human to represent beliefs and became foundation base that has become, later on, a source of subsequent beliefs. Society valued Female Goddess along times by literary texts which took the legendary character, as well as works of art from sculptures and pottery ... etc., which were not to put them in the first position, but her presence was an active and eventful beginning from worshiping them as goddess, that have the ability to create and innovate, besides its ability to give life and continuity, this has been the first global appearance and other manifestations sprung from it, and each manifestation of them had characteristics of the former, and took roles with the gods, so they were the first saying the formation of the universe and its organization on its own or along with males, as well as its contribution on earth. And thus goddess have taken a regular role and integrated to the creativity in the ancient people's beliefs.So the importance of the subject is that it is being taught in two important aspects of the ancient beliefs in life and death in the two civilizations : Mesopotamia and the Nile Countrie. This study included an introduction, a review and then four chapters, as well as the conclusions that the study has reached and of course the appendixes. Its review explained an overview of the stages of the importance of the female goddess and stages of decline, it was the early stages of the cult worshipping the female goddess which were the (mother goddess) that appeared in the Neolithic period; then refers to the stages of evolution of religious thought, in Mesopotamia and the Nile Countrie civilizations, in diagnosis of natural phenomena surrounding them, which gave the divinity characteristics. This created the gradual transformation from goddess towards gods. The ages shows the final proof that gods had the higher rank when the goddess had the lower one in deities. The first chapter , entitled ( The Contributions of the Goddess in the Creation ) The chapter sectioned into the three sections. The first one has been dedicated to the reference of the contribution of t Gods multiple females in the creation of the universe and then organized.

Abstract: This subject addresses the studying of evilness ideology from ancient Iraqi people point of view. As evilness had been played an important role in mankind's life, whereas accompanied him since his early existence hitherto, and it was attended with him in all his life's aspects trying to get him down, where it had been targeted his life and daily victual. So that ancient Iraqi had believed of the existence hidden powers which stand behind the hurt that he exposed while he couldn't understand it. Evilness's content might represented with the hurt that give a rise to mankind. It is stand against his happiness, so that we don't overused if we say that this phenomenon has been and it is still one of the most important ones which preoccupied the human mind in general and ancient Iraqi man in particular whence he had been founded in his hard environment fertile imagination to drawn features of such evils. Meanwhile evil was a driving force and a motivation to know about human and his development.The ideology study is a curiously matter specially when it concerns with people who had been preceded us thousands years, whereas the shortest way to reach their ideas is by studying their legends because these myths shows their impressions and views of what they were afraid of because it reflect their psychological conditions and fears inside of them. Our studying subject deals with the evil idea and how had ancient Iraqi looked to evil and its sources, it isn't our point of view, if it is so, the whole matter will be different. We have followed ancient Iraqi style to cast this subject through illustrate the evil idea, the way to face it and everything may tie up the human happiness, to caused him hurt or stand as a barrier in the course of his life, in the same time it deemed as a motivation to know the human and his progress as an essential engine to his ability to face life and prove his existence. The research contains three chapters preceded by an introduction composed of summery identification of this subject and preface identifying evil phenomena in ancient languages.First chapter composes of three sections the first one shows evil's positions among Gods, while the second section exhibits Gods evilness and their ability towards man. Meanwhile the third one has set forth human's evils.Second chapter contains of two sections. It comes under evilness's symbols, whereas first section deals with Demon's evilness and evil spirits whilst the second section subdivided into two parts, the first one talks about animals evilness and metaphysics creatures. while the second part the evilness of Dragons and monsters.The third chapter is one of the most important chapters in which, we shows the huge amount of the defense means which used by the human to protect himself of surrounded evils, in the sometime it give us an idea that the main concern in ancient Iraqi's man life was protecting himself of evilness, from this point come the chapter name which held the way of facing evilness incudes five sections, the first deals with necromancy while the second one shows the role of Gods and magic priests in facing evilness, and the third onepresents divination's role in encounter evil's powers before and after their incidence , at last we have devoted the fifth chapter which addressed as Gods and protecting spirits and its importance in facing evilness to end our research with a set of results that we have reach it.Whereas God and human have symbolized the main evil sources in the ancient Iraqi ideology and we can touch this through myths and royal texts and through laws, canons and proverbs which were the source to show evilness's idea in people point of view. The evilness ideology had been founded in divine family itself, it was the first who dealt with it through culture of revenge to seize power monopolize opinion, the creation of disputes, using illegal weapons and the attempt to destroy the universe. The ancient Iraqi had been seen his Gods as one of evil sources cause it had the tools and means which may use it to hurt human, Gods had been made evilness while human was unable toknow that form there were no ethical constants because of their wobbling behaviors which characterized by rapidly respond.Ancient Iraqi has looked at Gods Decisions as contradictory decisions form one hand they had create the man to serve them and from the other they try to destruct him without determine the evildoer, note that they had been exposed to evilness by their fathers Gods and they do the same with their sons. Iraqi ancient man had been depicted evilness through his myths and this accompanied with the way and methods that can encounter it. He had been used the same method which used by his Gods, from here the idea of worshiping demons had been created . it’s a Mesopotamian's ideology, and this what we touched by worshipping the God Nimtar or the worshipping of Bazozo the demon . through the use of amulets held the picture of demon to keep the evilness of other demon far or by presenting gifts and offerings to evil spirits to comfort them right up to regard evil spirits as Gods.Ancient Iraqi had been believed that demons and evil spirits could practice demonic possession operation by mating with human beings with sexual relationship produces offspring weather of man's mothers or fathers. This demon would not allowed any intervention in his own affairs. As addition Ancient Iraqi ideology had been assigned the idea of evil by intention and act regardless of its perpetrators. Moreover profession of conjuring had been practiced by Iraqi ancients, whereas they had had their own means and tools in necromancy and they had been masterful in this field. This operation emphases that Iraqi ancients had been interested in future knowing, and what evilness might be hidden to avoid it. As well asprobability of necromancy's failure come to confirm their believe in it cause they had been realized it is like any other activities may submit to success or failur

Abstract: The Wooden Industries From Important Industries Which contributed in Essential Way development of civilization, The woods are considered as one of the most common raw materials that human has used in nature this is due to the various qualities which are rarely available in some other raw materials and with civilizational advance represented in establishing of many cities and emerging of many Important Industries and the increase in figures of population there had been a greater need for woods. wooden Industries started to development and woods were used in different joints of life The subject of wood industry was chosen in order to get to know their economic activity through its distinguished position and to discover the role it played in the development of civilization thus. The present thesis is divided into two parts. Part one contained four chapters, the first chapter deals with the kinds of timber and its linguistic meaning through the identification of the timber as it was stated in the cuneiform texts of Sumerians and Akkadians ,as well as the names of the different kinds of wood in Akkadian and the use of each kind of timber. Moreover, the cuneiform texts provided us with the different uses of wood. The second chapter deals with the sources of timber, including what was found inside Iraq as a source of local timber and then the mention of the sources of timber from other countries such as the Gulf, the Levant, Anatolia and Iran. The cuneiform sources provided us with the information of bringing the timber from these areas. The Levant occupied the first place as the most famous region in the production of timber and timber trees, especially the cedar. The kings of Mesopotamia considered bringing the wood as an extraordinary achievement. The third chapter deals with the carpenter who is mentioned in cuneiform sources, and then talking about the carpenter tools and different uses and their contributions significantly to the development of industries, including wood and furniture, some wood, machinery and tools. More light is thrown on the craft of carpenter, and how the craftmanship is given with full training for his children to the craft. The carpenter adopted a child to train him to this craft. The fourth chapter deals Illustrates the use of wood in construction, where the wood was an important material for the construction and it was complementary to other materials .In fact, their date goes back to the architecture of Mesopotamia in the prehistoric times when the trunks of trees were used. The palm trees were used in roofing the building blocks, wood was also used as columns assigned roofs and balconies, as well as the use of timber in the work of the doors and gates. The second part is divided into six chapters. The first one mentions that most of the furniture were made of wood and a few cases of ivory, wood, metal and the fact that perishable material, the archaeological excavations did not succeed in finding examples of them except in decorating furniture, metals, ivory, cloth. The second chapter deals with the manufacture of agricultural tools and irrigation, including the ax and shovel and sickle. Other tools for irrigation and machinery are made of wood and they have contributed significantly to the irrigating farmland. The third chapter desribes the arms industry as a result of the real need for them by men. With regard to the need of the people to arms it is important to state that man in that time was in continuous struggle against wild animals. There were internal conflicts which needed the arms.What is more, the timber is widely used in the manufacture of weapons, including light spears and bows and arrows and others. As well as the use of wood in the manufacture of heavy weapons and rams as well as military tanks used in that time in Mesopotamia, in modern Assyrian modern weapons makers have excelled in the manufacture of these heavy weapons. Because it required precise technical skill in dealing with the wood because the arms industry in particular, including heavy industries was not easy, this required big amounts of timber. Moreover, the use of land transport in the movement and transport of goods and so it played a significant role in the industry to reach a vehicle used by the residents of Mesopotamia. The fourth chapter expounds the transport industry and ground water, where the transport is a major factor in the development of civilization. As for the fifth chapter, it develops the manufacture of musical instruments, as far as music is a manifestation of civilization in Mesopotamia. Industry and musical instruments in Mesopotamia are a genuine civilization which has reached the level of sublime in terms of technical, professional perspective and Mesopotamia was always in the forefront of many achievements, including musical instruments manufacture. The sixth chapter deals with other Industries of wood, including wood work whiteboard despite the lack of use in the writing of cuneiform texts. The cuneiform texts mentions the use of wood for specific purposes, it mentions also the use of wood for the handcuffs for the prisoners. It depicted some scenes technical way of holding prisoners with timber of wood, as well as the subject focuses on the work of the coffins to bury the dead, formerly the palm trees were used for this purpose.

Abstract: The trade was the second cornerstone on which the economic life was based after the agriculture. Although Mesopotamia was known by its water resources and fertile sands, it needed for some materials wanted in the industry, such as stones, woods, and various metals.

Accordingly, trade links were created with those areas like the Arabian Gulf, Turkey and Iran, as well as Syria which had a related links with Mesopotamia since the prehistory ages as referred by the archeological excavations explored in various areas of Syria.This study concentrates on the trade links between Mesopotamia and Syria; it tackles such links from the prehistory ages and till the end of the ancient Babylon. The study of this aspect shows a profile for the nature of that activity and the natural resources of cities and kingdoms in both areas. In addition, it introduces the roads and paths passed by trade caravans and military troops together. This topic is one of the important subjects which evoked researchers to make studies. There have been many studies about this topic such as including the political aspects and cultural aspects, especially that the impact of Mesopotamian culture was very great on the neighboring areas’. According to this study, it has been tackled the commercial aspects. It presents all matters related to trade links between Mesopotamia and Syria in the abovementioned period which was known by an obvious commercial activity between both of the areas.This study is made up of four chapters through which it has been presented the commercial activity between the both areas. This activity was sometimes dynamic to be moved to another direction as in the Acadian Age, and the age of third race of Ur, where almost of the commercial activity was done with the East and the Arabian Gulf. The first chapter tackles : (the Impact of Geographical Background in the Date of Mesopotamia and Syria). It is known that the geographical aspect of any area has an impact in the human activity in general and in the economic activity in particular, especially that related to the commercial activity. This chapter concentrates on the impact of geography in this activity, and the importance of commercial site for both of Mesopotamia and Syria which was making up of a unique geographical unit. Accordingly, that unit facilitated the matter of making commercial activities. This chapter includes two sections.

Whereas the second one tackles the commercial site of Syria and its effect in holding trades. The second chapter, however, represents : (The Commercial Activity between Mesopotamia and Syria from the Prehistory Ages and till the End of the Age of Early Races). It has been divided into two sections. The first one tackles the commercial activity between Mesopotamia and Syria in the prehistory age referred by ceramics and cylinder stamps that was spread by the trade, in addition to the existence of Sumerians in some areas of Syria which was regarded by researchers as trade stations. Especially, it had been a similarity in building designs and cities planning to the designs and planning in South Mesopotamia. The second section tackles the commercial activity between Mesopotamia and Syria in the age of early races. At that period of time, the commercial activity between Mesopotamia and Ebla was the most prominent. The effect of Mesopotamia on it was very great, especially in aspects accompanied by trades, like culture. In addition, in this period of time Mari City had appeared as a commercial agent. Then, this section tackles the trade arrangement throughout the direct supervision of kings in dealing with roads and making it safe.The third chapter refers to : the commercial activity between Mesopotamia and Syria in both of the Acadian and the third race of Ur Ages.

Kings were directly supervising on trades, and they were arranging them. The second section tackles the commercial activity between Mesopotamia and Syria in the age of third race of Ur. Trade, at that period of time, was obviously concentrated with Ebla, and it was taken into kings’ account and supervision.The fourth chapter affirms on the commercial activity between Mesopotamia and Syria in the ancient Babylon and Assyrian ages. This period was recognized by a great commercial activity, especially with Syria to be named as the age of trade and merchants. This chapter is made up of three sections.

Because this determines the personality of the coming king who represents the Assyrian Empire and therefore the future of the country as a whole. In fact, this topic reflects a cultural aspect in Mesopotamian culture in general and the Assyrian one in particular. It reveals the political maturity reached by the Assyrian kings. The Crown Prince is one of the king's sons chosen by the king himself as far as he is his father. It is most likely the child would be the eldest one and the choice is usually legitimate. In order to not face any opposition about the choice of the Crown Prince he points out that this choice is the will of gods .This is of course from the religious level. From the interior and exterior political level, the King the father concluded a treaty with the rulers and the people of the territories of the Assyrian Empire and with all the officials of the Assyrian Empire from the military, politicians and administrators and the rest of the royal family and even with the Assyrian people.This treaty would be concluded with the presence of gods and the curses will be inflicted upon those who violated the treaty.In the process of chosing the Crown Prince many persons participated in it namely the King's wife or his mother and high rank personalities. After the choice of the Crown Prince, he attended his own (house _ Ridoti) or (Palace of succession), which is a preparatory school for the Crown Prince where he began to learn reading, writing, and some sciences like (mathematics), and other military exercises of riding horses and driving wagons and fight with the sword, arrows and even industry, fishing gears and others. Then he was entrusted with some of the senior positions in the Empire.

Abstract: New Assyrian cuneiform text, especially royal annals, and war scenes carved on reliefs steles, statues and other royal monuments emphasize the importance of war spoils that were taken from the cities and countries which the Assyrian army conquered. This fact makes it clear that one of main aims of Assyrian military campaigns was economic, that is to bring to Assyria spoils of value such as gold, silver, tin and other valuables in addition to prisoners of war, weapons of different kinds, animals such as horses, mules, sheep, and other animals. In spite of the importance of spoils of war to understand the political and economic policy of the late Assyrian kings, little has been written in Arabic on this particular subject. This has led us to write on spoils of war in the New Assyrian Period. It in obvious that most of our references was in foreign languages or written in cuneiform script which made our work difficult as our knowledge in English is very limited. Be that as it may, we tried our best to give a detailed study on spoils of war based mainly on cuneiform text that were translated into English by various scholars. The study was divided into four main sections in addition to the introduction and preface The first section dealt with vocabulary used in cuneiform texts to denote to the various kinds of spoils and to they way spoils were taken. The second section mention the different kinds of spoils taken such as human beings who were regarded prisoners of war, weapons and chariots, different kind of animals, cloths, minerals, precious, stones, ivory, food stuffs, wood and agricultural products. The third section tackles the economic importance of spoils to the Assyrian government and society. It contains several chapters each of which was dedicated to certain importance. The fourth and last section war concerned mainly with the informative aim of text concerned and scenes carved on monuments and the propaganda it serves for the Assyrian king and army. It consists of three main chapters. Finally the study was annexed with conclusion in addition to many maps and photographs that clarify what has been dealt with in the four sections of the thesis

Abstract: من خلال استعراضنا لكتاب العبر لابن خلدون وجدنا ان هذا الكتاب غني بالمعلومات التاريخية خصوصا تلك التي تناولت العرب قبل الاسلام فيما يتعلق تقسيمات العرب وانسابهم ووقائعهم التاريخية فقد سار ابن خلدون على ماسار عليه المؤرخون من قبله فقد قسم العرب الى عرب بائدة وعرب تابعة والعرب المستعربه والعرب التابعة للعرب . غير انه هنالك بعض الاختلافات التي ذكرها ابن خلدون في معرض حديثه عن العرب العاربة وحديثه عن العرب المستعربة فذكر في بعض الاحيان لفظ المستعجمة وهذا موضوع اختلاف بين المؤرخين هذا من جانب ومن جانب اخر وجدنا ان بعض الروايات المنقولة عن المؤرخين الذين اعتمد عليهم ابن خلدون في نقل رواياته انها اتسمت بالاختصار والاجتزاء وفي بعض الاحيان تصرف ابن خلدون بالرواية نقدا وتحليلا فضلا عن تصرفه بالايات القرانية التي وردت يجتزا بل انه قد اشار الى معاني بعض الايات دون ذكر نصوصهوابعد استعراض مفصل لكتاب العبر استطعنا ان ندون بعض الاستنتاجات ومنها .(1) ترصد ابن خلدون في كتاب العبر انساب العبر عبر مراحل ما قبل الاسلام. (2) استشهد ابن خلدون في بعض المواضع بالروايات التاريخية فحلل ونقد الرواية على وفق ما لما يريد هو وليس نقلا حرفيا عن المصادر التي نهل عنها .ونتائج اخرى دونتها في متن البحث املة من الله ان اكون قد وفقت في بلورة المعلومه المفيدة للباحثين حول كتاب العبر لابن خلدون على انني اعترف بان الكمال لله وقد عملت على ابراز الجوانب المهمة من حياة العرب التي ذكرها ابن خلدون . | By the name of most compassionate merciful Allah and peace upon the truthful prophet Mohammed and his relatives.

Its apparently that I have faced couple of difficulties during my research one of them that Ibn Khaldoon didn’t tackle with some topics are included in my research, so I was compelled to return to some other resources that take from Ibn Khaldoon to know the method that he worked on and how matches his novels that he quote from, but I succeeded to pass through the problem by the favor of my teachers of history department, so the title of my research was ( Alebar Book For Ibn Khaldoon As A Resource For " Studying Arab History In The Era Of Before Islam"). I preferred to make my thesis consists of prologue and three chapters as follow : Prologue included ( A reading in the social biography of Ibn Khaldoon) to discuss his name, his surname, his birth and his living circumstances, while the title of the first chapter ( Sources of Ibn Khaldoon and his methodical in studying the history of Arab history in the era of before Islam) came in three sections, first one was to define the book, second section was the editorial and verbal sources that Ibn Khaldoon relied on, we finalized the chapter by the third section that includes the methodical of Ibn Khaldoonin Alebar Book.Second chapter included the political circumstances in Arab before Islam, divided into three sections, first one was specialized for studying the southern territories, second section studied the conditions of Arabia semi - island while third section was about studying the northern territories .
