Talk:Timeline of Middle Eastern history

Untitled
"This is the region around which the ancient world revolved, which formed what could be termed universal human culture, and which gave us the world's major monothiestic religions." very strong argument, probably biased from a Middle Eastern perspective. Should be a) improved by giving reasons, e.g. lot of trade-routes to China, India, Greece... strong military, scientifically advanced... b) further expanded ben 08:35, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)

I am going to change the structure of the page to make it more transparant and more similar to other timelines. I especially liked the structure of Timeline of planetary exploration, but see other articles in the category timelines as well. Ben (talk) 14:11, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

first very rough sketch
I took main-data from the millennia at centuries and transposed later the structure from History of the Middle East. Please help bringing the timeline in a good shape and add events (especially non-ancient) from either a) centuries, where you can look at the centuries (instead of millennia) what gives more detail, or b) (best) History of the Middle East or any other histories of a country in the region.

this has been lying idle for two years. I suggest it should be split: dab (𒁳) 14:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Timeline of the Ancient Near East
 * Timeline of the Persian Empire
 * Timeline of Classical Antiquity
 * Timeline of the Ottoman Empire
 * Timeline of Middle Eastern history (1922-present)
 * As this hasn't been done I've removed the split tag. -- Eraserhead1 &lt;talk&gt; 18:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Invention of wheel
The article gives two contradicting dates for the invention of wheel in Mesopotamia: once in the 6th millenium BCE and once in the 3rd millenium. --Vasiliy Faronov (talk) 11:24, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Gobeli Tepe omitted
Why? Or have I got something wrong? 180.183.96.32 (talk) 06:58, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have added it to the list!--Watisfictie (talk) 10:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

AD to CE
I am suggesting that we (or I) will change the BC (before Christ, which is a religious term) and AD (Anno Domini, which is a religious term) to BCE (before common era) and CE (common era). The main reason for it is that we shall have religious-free terms. Lironos / 2LIRONOS7 / Lyronos (talk) 00:06, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I just came across this article and thought of the same thing, would it be okay if I (or anyone else) does this? Religious terms have a theology charge that could very easily be avoided. 181.12.40.73 (talk) 01:39, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Meaning of Early / Middle / Late Islamic period
What do the terms Early / Middle / Late Islamic period mean? How are they defined? When do they start and end? They show up in articles about Jordan for instance, but I cannot find a periodisation offering the basic meaning.

I will post this also on other relevant pages. The discussion should be held at Talk:Timeline of Islamic history (so not here). Thanks. Arminden (talk) 15:04, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
