Near East: From the Birth of Agriculture to the Rise of the Cities

The story of the early farmers in the Near East is a fascinating period of history, but it is often overshadowed by other historical periods for which we have much more detailed information. In this video, we will explore how early farming communities advanced their agriculture and fostered various cultures over thousands of years, ultimately paving the way for the emergence of the first urban cities and the development of civilization as we know it.
