The Ancient Dead Sea Kingdom was an area of the Middle East that was home to two ancient kingdoms, Moab and Edom. Moab was located east of the Dead Sea, while Edom was located south of the Dead Sea. Both kingdoms were established in the 13th century BC and were ruled by powerful kings. They were known for their wealth and power, and both had a strong presence in the region until they were eventually conquered by the Assyrians in the 8th century BC.
