Middle Bronze Age migrations (ancient Near East)

When people lived a long long time ago, they traveled from one place to another looking for food, water, and better places to live. During the middle Bronze Age, which was also a long time ago, people in the Near East (which is where countries like Israel, Iraq, and Jordan are) also moved from one place to another.

These people moved because they needed more land to live on or because they were looking for better things like metal, wood, or fertile soil to farm. They traveled by foot or by animals like camels, horses, and donkeys. They might have also used wagons or carts to carry their things with them.

When they reached a new place, they would set up a home and start farming or hunting in the area. Sometimes they would even start new cities or kingdoms. As people moved around, they traded ideas and things with other cultures, which helped shape the world we live in today.

So, during the middle Bronze Age in the near east, people traveled from one place to another looking for new homes, food, and things. They did this by walking, riding animals, and using carts, and it helped create new civilizations and cultures.
