Project: Find a news story online that covers the current population of what was once Sumer, Babylon, Persia, Egypt, Phoenicia, or Israel. Be ready to give a 3-minute oral presentation on this current event during our next class. Make sure to include references to how the region's history does or does not relate to the current event item chosen. Your presentation's goal is to both inform the class and provide historical perspective.
