What are the ancient states in Western Asia?

If we take the most ancient, then these are certainly the states of the Middle East. It was there that one of the main centers of human development was located. And we can distinguish such state formations as:

* State of the Hittites;

* Mesopotamia (Sumeria and Babylon);

* Phoenician civilization of separate independent cities;

* Assyria;

* Judea;

* Syria.

Also later, you can distinguish the proto-Greek city-policies in Asia Minor, the city of Troy, Lydia.

Somewhat later, Media and the Persian kingdom of the Achaemenids became known.
