Oops, I can't get the attachment to work. Could you try it again (assuming the problem is yours, instead of mine)?

 

Yep, my bad!

 

Try this again.

 

Just thought I'd enlarge the image. And so right!

Not quite, I'm afraid!

 

DonnaML, Thank you first for your resonant reality check about the genealogy.
Given which, Yeah, Not Quite. The cultural legacy of the entire region inhabited a much narrower spectrum than that. Aggregately, you could see the Middle East, and most of the Mediterranean, at least from, say, the first millennium BCE into the middle of the first one ACE, as having been one of the most cosmopolitan on record. ...Yeah, a lot was happening, more simultaneously (and often enough synergetically) than in any neat succession.
