Israel

Israel was located in between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River with people who called themselves Israelites. A main document found in their culture is the Hebrew Bible. During a point in their civilization, Israel was under Egypt's control. The Israelites were then led out of captivity by a man named Moses. Israel's main temple was called the First Temple and the people worshiped Yahweh the most causing their religion to be monotheistic. Women in Israel had certain rights such as they could have certain political powers. Due to the re settlements of Israelites, the concept of diaspora was created. To this day, Israel still uses most of its traditions and beliefs from the past.
