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.
