I think that history does repeat itself and we must begin to realize to learn from out mistakes. The past does tend to occur more than once and so if we learn to read about our past, we may then be able to stop certain things from happening.
In Mesopotamia, there were people fighting people. The ones with more power thought that they ruled over EVERYONE and so they conquered them if they did not like them. The Assyrians took captive of the Isrealites adn made them slaves (not unlike the americans making african americans slaves). That is one example of history repeating itself (slavery). People were constantly fighting each other for power in Mesopotamia, something that happens even to this day.
Are we going to begin to open our eyes and see that if we learn from our past, our future can be so much better?
