At first sight, this article looks so difficult that I was a little scared. As a science student in high school, history has always been my headache. I am always confused with the times when things happened and all those similar names. This article, to me, is no less different.

At least after three times of reading, I began to hold the merit of this article. But it is a little too long that I still get a little lazy in the third day. I admit it and I hope it won’t happen again.

As for the content, it really gives me some new understanding of the religion and development of the East. Though I am Asian, it seems that Greece and Rome are the very birthplace of human civilization. It is probably my ignorance of history that leads to this misunderstanding. But now Babylonia, Palestine and Assyria are all familiar to me. Though they are just some vague concepts to me, at least I know that the history and civilization of them are so fabulous that we should never overlook.

Also, this article tells an dilemma in history study. That is we may never make a totally true judgment until we get all the information. But we may never get it and whether our judgment is true or not may remain unknown.
