The Mesopotamian culture hearth emerged around 3500 BCE in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what is now modern-day Iraq. This area is often referred to as the "Cradle of Civilization" due to its significant contributions to early human development, such as the invention of writing, urbanization, and advances in agriculture. The culture thrived through various periods, notably the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian civilizations, influencing later cultures in the region and beyond.

I'm not sure about Phoenician culture, but the Jews adopted a similar governmental system to the Mesopotamians. Mesopotamian culture was the dominant culture in the Middle East for an expansive period of history. Mesopotamian influences included art-forms, economic systems, roads and public trading routes, clothes, and the concept of writing. Phoenicians and Hebrews borrowed these traits and modified them to fit their own indigenous beliefs.
