Who has controlled the Middle East over the course of history? Pretty much everyone. Egyptians, Turks, Jews, Romans, Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Europeans...the list goes on. Who will control the Middle East today? That is a much bigger question.

This is very interesting look of the timelines of empires in the middle-east. It's in moving video (flash?) format about the historical empires and rulers in the middle-east over the last 5,000 years.
Who was there first?

Little did the High Priests of Political Correctness think that they
created a new instrument of torture when they brought in BCE and CE.
It's more piercing than a stilleto when used (with discretion) in the
presence of self-righteous liberals in the right forum.
Which is where I say "in the year XXXX Before The Christian Era"
and "in the year XXXX of the Christian Era".

Only problem they data Iran's Independence from 1979. That is incorrect. Other then being occupied during WW2 by the Russians and the English, Iran was never a colony.

BCE = Before Christian Era
CE = Christian Era
That always works for me.

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
