I guess I’m not sure what you mean by “Ancient Conflict”. But the Levant was historically a strategic piece of land that biodged Anatolia/Mesopotamia with Egypt. Control over this region has been a constant battle through out recorded history.

As I admitted in my first response if you mean something like control over a homeland/holy land, like the conquest of Canaan, yeah that’s a relatively recent thing. But as far as battle ground, I think you should think more about what those battles mean in context of history. Van de Mieroop has a great History of the Ancient Near East that I would highly recommend. Mostly because ancient near eastern history is really cool.

May I introduce you to the Amarna Letters? The battle of Qarqar? The Battle of Carchemesh? The Battle of Kadesh? So while you are correct in that there is no “Conquest of Canaan” as reported in the Bible, see David Illan, ancient Canaan has always been a battle ground. You could also talk about the wars between the selucides and the ptolemies too, but, I don’t know as much about them.

I actively only monitor a couple of channels for music, but try and be open to new sources. I follow a couple of genres on Bandcamp (most of these are bad, but it’s fun to hear new things). I follow MrDoom666, StonedMeadowOfDoom, and Atmospheric Black Metal Albums on YouTube.

I get enough music to listen to. I ask friends for what they are listening to, and I know I am going to be missing some music, and that’s okay.

I don’t listen to everything that comes through the channels I follow, and will quickly turn it off if I’m not liking it.

I think Colorado could force AZ to do what they want just by threatening to turn off the water.
