In this video, we rank the 7 most dominant Middle Eastern empires in history—from the Babylonian Empire's groundbreaking legal codes to the Rashidun Caliphate's unprecedented 30-year conquest of two superpowers. You'll discover:
✅ How the Achaemenid Empire controlled 44% of Earth's population
✅ Why the Ottoman Empire lasted 600 years and ruled 3 continents
✅ How the Abbasid Caliphate's Golden Age preserved knowledge that sparked the Renaissance
✅ The Umayyad expansion from Spain to Pakistan in under 100 years
✅ The Sassanian Empire that rivaled Rome for 400 years
