Under every stone we find ghosts of the Near East's Roman past. Here partially submerged in the Euphrates are the ruins of Zeugma. A city today in Turkey but once a part of Seleucid and later Roman Syria founded as Seleucia by Seleucus I Nicator, later renamed as Commagene.

Rome could've been Western Eurasia's China, a multi-millennia-old civilization state. It was weakened by civil wars and carved up by invasions of nomadic peoples; Germanic (406-476) Islamic Arabs (630-700), Turkic (1024-1453). Ever since we've been a patchwork of warring tribes.
