The Levant refers to the eastern Mediterranean region, including modern-day countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Israel, and Jordan. It is known for its rich history and cultural diversity.
Imagine the Levant as a vibrant marketplace where different cultures come together to trade goods and ideas. Just like how people from different backgrounds interact in a marketplace, the Levant was a melting pot of various civilizations.
Crusades: A series of religious wars fought between Christians and Muslims in the medieval period.
Silk Road: An ancient network of trade routes connecting East Asia with Europe and Africa.
Ottoman Empire: A powerful empire that controlled much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa during the 14th to early 20th centuries.
