 | | Syria was occupied successively by Canaanite s, Phoenician s, Hebrews, Egyptians, Sumerians, Arameans, Assyrian s, Babylonian s, Hittites, Persia ns, Greeks, Romans, Nabataeans, Byzantine s, Arab s, Crusade rs, and Mongols, before finally coming under the control of the Ottoman Turks. | | | Syria is significant in the history of Christianity ; Paul was converted on the road to Damascus and established the first organized Christian Church at Antioch in ancient Syria, from which he left on many of his missionary journeys. | | | Syria's political instability during the years after the 1954 coup, the parallelism of Syrian and Egyptian policies, and the appeal of Egyptian President Gamal Abdal Nasser 's leadership in the wake of the Suez crisis created support in Syria for union with Egypt. |

| | But the warlike sons of sandy Arabia whose swords terminated, at Nahawand, the political independence of this ancient people, could hardly touch the intellectual freedom of the converted Zoroastrian. | | | Greek philosophy, though an exotic plant in the soil of Persia, eventually became an integral part of Persian thought; and later thinkers, critics as well as advocates of Greek wisdom, talked in the philosophical language of Aristotle and Plato, and were mostly influenced by religious pre-suppositions. | | | The outcome of all Idealistic speculation in India is Buddha, in Persia Bahaullah, and in the west Schopenhauer whose system, in Hegelian language, is the marriage of free oriental universality with occidental determinateness. |
