"... Around the Globe....?"

A bit hyperbolic, don't you think?

Hey now.. that is music city in the central valley, home of the bakerfield sound..

[military cop]

Hey, you don’t know me, but you don’t like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

[Cronos]

more Hellenocentric :)

To the ancient Greeks the “world” was the Greek world with some “fringes” along the edges :) — kind of like the Chinese “middle Kingdom” point of view.

As an aside - this was also the view to some extent in the united Roman empire that “the world” meant “the Roman world” and the rest were, well, exotic “rest”

[Cronos]

Historically, culturally, linguistically speaking there were no “Palestinians” prior to 1948. There were Arabs, Jews, Samaritans, etc. but people associated themselves by religion primarily and language secondarily
