    The Hebrews were relative late-comers to civilized life when compared to Mesopotamians and ancient Egyptians. While these ancient civilizations were building massive structures that would symbolize the height of their political and cultural power, the Hebrews were still widely scattered nomadic peoples. They would, however, give to the world a faith that would change humanity through to the present day. The Hebrew faith evolves into Judaism and later becomes the foundation for Christianity and Islam. The Hebrew faith has impacted history beyond the biblical period.
