We cannot look back at history without understanding how nomadic migrations shaped territorial dynamics. Nomads, by definition will take from the land then move on, without the intent or knowledge to build anything upon it. Still, they asimilate lands through their women, by dividing and conquering. In the middle east, a territory so rich in history, where kingdoms like Uruk or Assirya were at the heart of human civilization, countries like Irak, Syria and Afghanistan are today being burned down to the ground.
