Search Results - Middle East

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The Middle East (or, formerly more common, the Near East[1]) is a region that spans southwestern Asia and northern Africa. It has no clear boundaries, often used as a synonym to Near East, in opposition to Far East. The corresponding adjective to the Middle East is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner.

The history of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, and throughout its history the Middle East has been a major centre of world affairs. The Middle East is also the historical origin of three of the world’s major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Middle East generally has an arid and hot climate, with several major rivers providing for irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas. Many countries located around the Persian Gulf have large quantities of crude oil. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive region.

The term "Middle East" may have originated in the 1850s in the British India Office,[2] and became more widely known when American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan used the term.[3] During this time the British and Russian Empires were vying for influence in Central Asia, a rivalry which would become known as The Great Game. Mahan realized not only the strategic importance of the region, but also of its center, the Persian Gulf.[4][5] He labeled the area surrounding the Persian Gulf as the Middle East, and said that after the Suez Canal, it was the most important passage for Britain to control in order to keep the Russians from advancing towards British India.[6] Mahan first used the term in his article "The Persian Gulf and International Relations," published in September 1902 in the National Review, a British journal.

The Middle East, if I may adopt a term which I have not seen, will some day need its Malta, as well as its Gibraltar; it does not follow that either will be in the Persian Gulf. Naval force has the quality of mobility which carries with it the privilege of temporary absences; but it needs to find on every scene of operation established bases of refit, of supply, and in case of disaster, of security. The British Navy should have the facility to concentrate in force if occasion arise, about Aden, India, and the Persian Gulf.[7]

1. Herbal Tea Information and Description
November 20, 2009

The term herbal tea refers to any infusion that is made from anything other than leaves of a tea bush. This bush is native to China and the Middle East.

9. How to Tell if It's Real Mother of Pearl or Just Pretty Plastic
November 13, 2009

Mother of pearl is incredibly popular in the Middle East, making it a huge part of many of our most popular Holy Land gifts.

So how can you tell when it's real and when you're looking at a fraud? What is Mother of Pearl? Before you can accurately launch a quest to differentiate real mother of pearl from a cleverly disguised fake you should know what mot... (read more)

Many people go on holiday to places where rugs are woven and it is part of the experience to go to the market to buy a rug. Over the years I have been called out many times to assess and value rugs bought in the Middle East, North Africa or India and more recently China, for insurance purposes or to sell. With regard to price generally speaking you pay pretty close or even more for the rug abroad than you would in the UK. However many rugs bought abroad are of a lower quality and would not reach the shops back home. Often rugs have weak sides that come apart after a few months which can... (read more)
