Question

I have an assignment that im retaking and it's to find a current news article that takes place in an ancient land. The assignment says to choose a current news story about iraq, egypt isreal or palestine. And I have to write a 5 paragraph essay about how it relates to ancient history and I am confused.

I wasn't given a modern news article and I have to send it by friday and i'm panicking please help.
