The wrong assessments of ancient Near East also betray historians, sociologists and philosophers
Philosophy and conceptual religion did not begin with the foundation of the Greek philosophy or the raising of the Chinese or Indic religion, around the sixth century before Christ.

There are archaeological evidences
for philosophy and conceptual religion in ancient Near East from at least 7000
before Christ in Kurdish.
One of the America's
prominent sociologists, Robert Bellah in a recent book, "Religion in Human Evolution"
tries to identify when religion emerged and how it changed through the
centuries.
He ends
with the Axial Age of the sixth century before Christ, focusing on ancient
India, Israel, Greece and China.
Bellah
identifies three stages: enactive, symbolic and conceptual. Basic rituals are
part of the first, then myth and legend, and finally ethical and theological
reasoning.
The
conceptual stage is one related to the Axial Age, roughly around the sixth
century BC, when Plato and other thinkers founded Greek philosophy and the
Buddha and other teachers raised Indic religion to a whole new conceptual
level, according to Bellah.
From a
Kurdish perspective in the book Bible Discovered, I made it clear that the
modern sociology and philosophy are based on wrong assessments concern the
early culture, history and ethnography of the mankind.
The very
notion of the Axial, conceptual stage did not begin with the foundation of the
Greek philosophy or the raising of the Chinese or Indic religion, around the
sixth century before Christ.
The
world's most influential philosophies were founded at least 7000 before Christ
in the ancient Near East in Kurdish language.
