Who ruled the middle east?

Check out the animation here. Is it any wonder there are still problems in the middle east? The rulers of that land changed hands so many time during the past 5000 years. Only near the end do things start to settle down a bit. It’s also interesting to note how large the Mongol empire was and that it actually encompassed most of Asia and the middle east.
