It was largely pagan.Before the coming of Islam, most Arabs followed a religion featuring the worship of a number of deities, including Hubal, Wadd, Al-Lat, Manat, and Uzza, while some tribes had converted to Christianity or Judaism, and a few individuals, the hanifs, had apparently rejected polytheism in favor of a vague monotheism.\n\nBy the fourth century AD, the Arab kingdoms of the Lakhmids in southern Iraq and Ghassanids in southern Syria had emerged just south of the Fertile Crescent and ended up allying respectively with the Sassanid and Byzantine Empires. Thus they were constantly at war with each other on behalf of their imperial patrons. However, their courts were responsible for some notable examples of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry, and for some of the few surviving pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions in the Arabic alphabet. The Lakhmid kingdom was dissolved by the Sassanids in 602, while the Ghassanids would hold out until engulfed by the expansion of Islam. Mecca was conquered by the Quraysh around 500CE and was already a religious centre.\n\nThere was a split between the Arabs who lived in towns near oasis growing dates and supplying trade caravans and the Bedouin who lived as nomadic pastoralists. This split still exists in Arab culture today.

All of the eras of mankind are covered in the good book  maybe your real question is which pages clearly define Arabs accepting the freedom others use to focus on working and entertaining , when not worshiping God . \nEach religion is attached to a particular human beings teachings , who taught by Living with simple goodness ,a part of a puzzle of that long trek back in the history of the world family.  \nOur Goodbook has all people beginning in paradise now the African and Arab regions of the world .The West as you call it, is full of immigrants. We accept all religious faiths here. All people can view their favorite countries culture on TV that is offered on the Internet TV websites 500 channels You just need a big sized monitor screen.\nThe american Indian Tribes are here, along with their love of this planet and preserving Gods natural beauty all around us ,that is what is in their hearts and minds forever, now they belong to a religion and open businesses and vote. \nThe blackmarket is not neccessary anymore Kings arent in control of everyones property , now you can hire a Lawyer if you dont like a Law that is cramping your style. Use your Heads for changing Laws not building weapons.  \nYou may control your own Mind . History is not Truth only a guide to remind us of the great people who led us out of  misery past.This too will pass. Gods Peace is Truth.

At least 2000 years. Christianity is not yet civilized in that length of time.

10 years is an extremely short period of time when discussing history so it would take something rather significant to greatly change life in the middle east and I don't see that happening.  The middle east and its people are going through a situation very similar to Europe in the 1500s and 1600s - Governments ruled by religious law.  It took hundreds of years for Europe to change their attitudes and beliefs about the role of religion in government.  I believe that people of the middle east will continue to be ruled by Islamic law for the most part and if this is the case, not a lot is going to change.

But how about Islamic state, the abassade age for about 500 years, they ruled large state from Baghdad which is very close to babylon and they were anti-christ definitely, do you think? I m still studying bible, so I don't know the whole story. mavbe I'm wrong.   in shiite beliefs, my former beliefs, they expect a man to come and rule the world from Iraq, it seems this taken from bible, but Muslism think that the one who will rule from Babylon is the good one ):

Read some of Zecharia Sitchins books....taken from 7000 year old text. \n\nAlso, the Bible could be speaking of the populated world at the time. Or civilization as it was known then.

Because at this period, on 500 B.C., Athens was the centre of the civilazed world. Democracy made the Athenian society to flourish and prosper. All the fine arts, and also poetry, theater, philosophy, science and architecture, were at the highest level of human mind. Also the greatest monuments that they still exist and we still admire, (Acropolis, the most important) were built in that period.

There are many things that are happening since the last 5000 years. there are some societies who think good when they develop and some find it comfortable in th eold surroundings. What matters in the quality of what happen around us rather than the time since when it is happening.

Medieval Guilds were centered on trades mostly. So you could try the merchants guild. They were very strong in advocating their rights as to the privileges of the middle class. Especially when it came to not only ownership of land but also the ability to determine their own destiny.

Probably the age of ancient empires, though you should mention to your teacher that an archaeologist told you that none of those answers are very correct.

In the Middle Ages, believe it or not, "Poor" was not a clearly defined concept. The fuedal system meant that [by and large] everyone had a useful role in society. It is not until people were redundent that poverty became an issue.\n\nSome answers seem to think the Middle Ages and The Middle of the second Millenium are the same thing. They are not. The Middle Ages is the period in Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire about 750ad to about 1500ad The Middle Ages had finished by 1600

Here's a good website for ancient history.  It begins around the 5th or 6th century and goes through trends of this century.

Arabs are the last people to make up a league among themselves. I will cut my throat if someone proves that an arabic alliance worked for Arabs at some time in history...
