*** In ancient Middle East, Egypt stands as a colossus for many centuries from ~3000BC.
Was the monotheism first started to tame/normatize the Egyptians? And then the rest of the Middle East: Assyria, Persia, Greeks and finally Romans? So from Middle East it was actually areas around the Mediterranean Sea? The Arabs jumped in as "me too" much later under Muhammad?

Urartu was mittani territory, possibly since India could not be included, the plan was to have mittani as substitutes. The Israelite capitivity/conquest sequence basically follows that of Alexander.
