Mesopotamia is between two rivers: Tigirs and Euphrates
Answer:
Some of the philosopher's theories could be contrary to Greek tradition since they do not follow the dictates of the gods.
Explanation:
Greeks were Pagans, thus philosophers and scientists who had rational ideas were in danger as the centuries changed. They looked for logical answers as opposed to anthropomorphic gods as the creators of the world.
Why should ancient philosophers’ ideas matter in today's world?
It doesn't matter if they should or shouldn't; the reality is that they do.
Here are some of the concepts that, dating back to the Greeks, have influenced the development of philosophy and civilisation (more generally) in the modern and current eras:
- Parmenides: Being: an unchangeable, immutable, continuous reality.
- Heraclitus: The Doctrine of Flux: The world as undergoing ceaseless change
- Democritus: Atomism: Indvisible entities that make up composites, their nature being explained by the difference in the quantitative aspect rather than the qualitative aspect of atoms
- Socrates: The Socratic Method, Conceptual Thinking
- Plato: Idea of Universals
- Aristotle: Logic, Science, Teleology
Both science and philosophy have been impacted by these concepts. Politics and ethics are topics I have not even begun to mention. These concepts continue to be present and addressed. For instance, despite the fact that contemporary science claims to have resolved the issue of teleology once and for all, the topic teleology attempted to address is still open. The Regress Argument is still a difficult concept for us to understand, and contemporary science has yet to discover a set of self-evident fundamental principles that can explain everything.

This was a genocide committed by the Hutu majority government. They believe that the Tutsis are genetically inferior and without government opposition since Hutus hold the majority they were allowed to commit this genocide pretty much without consequence. Famous genocide because it was mostly committed with axes and machetes and was extremely barbaric
He's just one of the boys. Lived and worked here all his natural life. Even married one of the Evans girls (or whatever name you want to put in here).
He's just plain folks just like us.
He declared war because the American "Infidels" invaded the Holy Land. He meant that because of the American occupation of Iraq and because it also occupied surrounding areas. So that's why he believed that he was in a "Holy" war to get the Holy Land back.
