On the one hand, I find the Bronze Age in the Middle East fascinating, for it being the wobbly but ultimately successful dawn of civilization that persists to this day, the beginning of systematic record-keeping and writing that spawned many arts and sciences, the beginning of large-scale social infrastructure and international trade, etc.
On the other, I find that too much of Iron Age history in the Middle East is a mind-numbing succession of kings and wars and invasions, power struggles and pillaging and petty tyrants. This is when my eyes glaze over and drift towards the Mediterranean instead, towards Greece and Carthage.
