This book concerns the formation of ancient civilizations in the Near East and the central Mediterranean world. It examines five civilization models (Model of Egyptian Civilization, Model of Mesopotamian Civilization, Model of Anatolian Civilization, Model of Central Mediterranean-Aegean Civilization, Model of Eastern Mediterranean Culture – Phoenicia, Syria, Palestine) and the dynamics of their development. Its theoretical part discusses the structure and analysis of civilizations, stages of development of civilization, the specifics of artistic thinking and touches on topics such as the phenomenon of cultural transformation in space and time. The book is intended for readers who are interested in the development of ancient civilizations and the specifics of their artistic thinking. In the process of systematizing and classifying these cultures/civilizations, we specifically highlight three parameters: a) geographical-regional, b) ethnic, and c) the individual "spiritual" phenomenon of the culture. In the course of our research, it became evident that each model encompassed a specific historical-geographical space and, at various stages of development, was tied to certain historical-chronological periods.
