Since the Middle East is also known as the “Cradle of Civilization” we will first look at artifacts from Mesopotamia (Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, etc.). Islamic art and architecture will also be given particular attention, addressing mosque architecture, calligraphy, and painting and how they visually express the concerns of Islam.
