Religions of the ancient Near East
Anatolia Ancient Egypt Arabia Canaan   Persia
Mesopotamia Sumer Semitic; Ancient Semitic       religion encompasses the
    polytheistic religions of the Semitic peoples
from the ancient Near East and Northeast Africa.
Since the term Semitic itself represents a rough
category when referring to cultures, as opposed
to languages, the definitive bounds of the term
"ancient Semitic religion"  are only approximate.

Semitic traditions   and their pantheons
fall into regional categories: Canaanite religions of the Levant, Sumerian tradition-inspired Assyro-Babylonian religion of Mesopotamia, and Arabian polytheism. Semitic polytheism possibly transitioned into Abrahamic monotheism by way of the god El, whose name "El" is a word for "god" in Hebrew, cognate to Arabic Allah.

Bad jokes, strong opinions, attention ****** galore
Brown nosing, over-reacting, annoying and more
Glorifying their actions, they're very self-centered
Extremely sheltered with no sense of adventure

Striving for A's and everyone knows it
But they have a big mouth, and they need to close it
They think there's a big conflict between AP and IB
But they can't just make friends, from what I can se

High school won't determine your life, wake up
One bad grade won't make you start begging from a cup
They think they're always right, and will never agree
But they're bound by ignorance, and will never be free.

70% of them really grind my gears
But I'm only here for one more year.
This was solely made by me, other people can have their own opinions on IB
I saved another planet today.
(superhero)
I am kind of like Batman,
because I don't have any super powers.
I'm just a super nova.
I'll outshine all of these galaxies.
I could be your shock wave.
If only it weren't for these black holes...
