 Latin, Greek, and their non-descendant English
Even the Macedonian empire, which exported Greek to most of the Middle East in the 300s BCE, did not displace the languages of the peoples it conquered; it simply added a layer of administrative, literary and educational Koine to local linguistic situations that were often very complicated.
In fact, for most of the first millennium BCE, it was much less important in Italy than Greek, which dominated colonies in Sicily and the "heel" and "toe" of the Italian peninsula.
For the Greek language, the classical period is the fifth and fourth centuries BCE; for Latin, it's the first centuries before and after the beginning of the common era.

 The Biblical Date for Creation
Bishop James Ussher was able to use the ages of famous pre-flood personages in the Bible to estimate the number of years between creation and the flood.
If Joshua's conquest of Canaan happened, it would have occurred circa in the 13th century BCE which was a time when Egypt's influence over the area was at a low ebb.
Bishop Ussher estimated that it began in 1451 BCE; that is unlikely because Egyptian power was at its peak at that time and completely dominated the area.

 direct democracy - Anarchopedia
Direct democracy was first experimented with in the ancient Athenian democracy of ancient Greece (beginning circa 508 BCE (Finley, 1973)), which was governed for two centuries by a general assembly of all male citizens, by randomly selected officials, and one elected representative charged to command the army of the city (strategos).
The presence of citizen lawmaking in Rome's governance was a strong, contributing factor to the rise of Rome, and its Greco-Roman civilization, to a greatness all out of proportion to the rest of the ancient world (Carey, 1967).
Modern-era citizen lawmaking began in the towns of Switzerland in the 1200s.

 The Virtual Jewish History Tour - Yemen
According to Yemenite tradition, a group of well-to-do Jews left Jerusalem after they heard Jeremiah predict the destruction of the Temple in 629 BCE, 42 years before the destruction occurred.
Little is known about this early part of Arab rule in Yemen, but we know the Jewish community was in distress from letters in the Cairo Genizah.
From the 1200s to the 1600s, the hardship of Yemenite Muslim rule was brought to a temporary halt by the Rasulides, a tribe from Africa.

According to this Near Eastern myth (the Enuma Elish), which dates back to around the 12th Century BCE, in the beginning there was only a watery void and there was a male god of fresh water (Apsu) and a female god of salt water (Tiamat).
In time a younger god of lightning and thunder (Marduk) killed Tiamat and split her body in two to form the heavens and earth.
According to the Scandinavian Eddas (from the 1200s BCE), in the beginning there was a chaotic world which included gods, giants, and humans.

The next thrust in human cultural development in relation to these subtle energies is in the Middle Kingdom(China) of about 3000 BCE, texts have been found which report on a universal energy called Qi (pronounced as chi or chee) which is found in all matter and the Chinese word for energy or life-force.
Then in Greece about 500 BCE, writings appear describing a vital energy which may be likened to a luminous body.
During the Dark Ages in Europe, little survived of the rich medical heritage of the Egyptian and Greek cultures due to the overzealous efforts of the early christian bureaucracy.

 Higgaion » Zondervan’s forthcoming Archaeological Study Bible
In the introduction to the book of Genesis, Zondervan rightly notes that “Genesis is, strictly speaking, an anonymous work.” The Archaeological Study Bible nevertheless goes on to advocate for Mosaic authorship of Genesis (although he might, Zondervan admits, have used sources).
1446 BCE for the exodus (if there was one) flies in the face of the best scholarship on this issue.
If there was an historical exodus, the strongest case can be made for it to have happened early in the reign of Ramses II, in the early 1200s BCE.

There are various details of everyday life described in Breishit which make sense in the context of Amorite society, but would be difficult to understand later, e.g.
Comfortable saddles for riding camels had not been developed then, so they were only used for carrying baggage and women, but never ridden by men.
The earliest references to the Arameans in archeological sites, I think, occur around 1300 BCE, not long before Matan Torah (which seems to be in the mid-1200s BCE, based on the reference to Rameses II in Shemot, and on the earliest Egyptian inscription mentioning Israel, from 1220 BCE).

 The battlegrounds of Troy - Folklore
We have legends of the war but little reliable history, for the earliest writings we have are Homer's epics, written down around four centuries after the event.
Troy was destroyed many times, including once in the mid 1200s BCE, shortly before the collapse of Mycenaean Bronze Age civilization.
Perhaps a memory of this collapse became connected to the stories of the Fall of Troy, transforming this story of an ancient war into a powerful metaphor for the ending of civilization through lust and violence.

 Higgaion » Archaeology and the Old Testament according to GCTS, part 1
Many interpreters—myself included—think that Merneptah’s “Israel” was (or at least has a good chance to have been) culturally continous with the people who later occupied the kingdom of Israel (late eleventh-late eighth century BCE on the biblical timeline, attested for the ninth and eighth centuries in Assyrian inscriptions).
This dating of the exodus to the thirteenth century BCE conflicted with archaeological datings of the collapse of Jericho’s mud-brick wall to the 15th (Garstang) or 16th (Kenyon) centuries BCE.
As I wrote at the beginning of this post, Sailhamer’s article is only three pages long, and it is written for an educated but nonspecialist—that is, ministerial—audience.

 Civilization Watch - December 3, 2006 - How Our Civilization Can Fall - The Ornery American
What Grant finds, though, is that an international economic system that functioned smoothly throughout the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean, despite blips like the Trojan War, staggered to a complete collapse.
Starting in the late 1200s bce, a "prolonged series of destructive movements of peoples" (i.e., barbarian invasions) swept through the area.
It seemed to be closely related to the fall of the Hittite empire in Asia minor, though whether the barbarian invasions toppled the Hittites, or the fall of the Hittites provided a power vacuum into which barbarians swept is hard to determine from our present vantage point.
