  • Second CD was put - the glorious civlisations that were located in Iraq - were the figureheads that lived in these civilizations - divided into the three groups?? Did they had any political or ethnic categories

Their contribution to science and humanity made a difference - not their race/ethnicity - They are Iraqis
