I mean for the time, that would be like owning all of Europe in the modern day; their titles weren’t completely unfounded.

This was back in a time before the horse was domesticated, and thus military campaigns were extremely limited and the mountain boundaries outside of the fertile crescent were quite treacherous.

I mean, was someone else laying claim to the title? Could’ve won it by default.

If there are four huts and three goats and you own half of them you can claim whatever the fuck you want to claim. You can adopt any fucking title, any fucking name, and any fucking god.
That fucking area is the cradle of civilization. That fucking area is the region which birthed most inventions, is the region whose language influenced the most languages-(next to Egyptian that is), so if someone owns that region he can even call himself your dad or your mom.

I love to imagine 30,000 years ago, some cro-magnon chief conquered a hundred and ten square miles of central Europe, made himself a God, and for two thousand years people talked about this dude like he was Genghis Kahn and Mike Tyson rolled into one, and we’ll never know.
