		With the discovery, in Sanxingdui, Sichuan, in the early 21st century, of bronzes of stylized human figures dated to 1200 BCE, a consensus is emerging that the Chinese bronze age was not dominated solely by Shang culture.
		They were a defensive stance saving the Chinese the expense of campaigning in Mongolia and Manchuria, thus allowing the Mongols to move freely beyond the walls and especially letting the Manchus build up their military strength.
		Nevertheless, when Altan Khan, a formidable Mongol warlord, acted too pressingly in his raids, the Chinese finally subdued him (1571); and when in the 1590s the Japanese under Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, they were opposed by the Chinese and in the end the invaders retreated.

		The discovery of two lead ingots from the wreck of the EHII period, at Dokos off the Argolid, points clearly to the lead and silver mines of Laurion near the tip of Attica eighty kilometers away....[I]n the first half of the 3rd millennium lead was probably already a commercial product in the Aegean.
		The recent metallurgical research also indicates that the conventional belief that the Laurion mines began to be worked only in the 5th century BCE is wrong by at least two thousand years.
		Although some traditions of bull cults remained in Egypt after their influence peaked in the 12th Dynasty, the leading cosmological and religious emblem as manifested by the royal cult toward the close of the 18th century BCE had become the asterism of Aries as the ram god Amon.

	Inside Britannica
		A bizarre set of accusations, including the sacrifice of children, was made by the Syrians against the Jews in Hellenistic Syria in the 2nd century BCE.
		These accusations would also be made by the Romans against the Christians, by early Christians against heretics (dissenters from the core Christianity of the period) and Jews, by later Christians against witches, and, as late as the 20th century, by Protestants against Catholics.
		The accusations were usually made by the alleged victims themselves, rather than by priests, lords, judges, or other "elites." Successful prosecution of one witch sometimes led to a local hunt for others, but larger hunts and regional panics were confined (with some exceptions) to the years from the 1590s to 1640s.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Julius Caesar
		For Shakespeare, however, the chief source is Sir Thomas North's translation of Plutach's Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romanes, (1579; 1595; 1603), itself derived from a translation into French by Jacques Amyot.
		The tribunes, Flavius and Marullus, at first speak to the plebeians with ill-disguised contempt -- though that will change when they hear that the masses they are supposed to represent are filling the streets to celebrate the return of Julius Caesar (1.1).
		They remind the revellers how, on an earlier occasion of a similar kind, they turned out in honour of Pompey the Great (106 - 48 BCE), a member of the First Triumvirate who later became a rival to Julius Caesar, was defeated by him at the Battle of Pharsalia, and then assassinated.

		It was cloudy but warmish and I flew through the crisp wind towards.
		The Imperial Palace is on the site of the old Edo-jo Castle, which was built in the 14th century, remastered in the 1590s, and by the 17th century, it was the largest castle in the world.
		There are more than twenty members of the current imperial family, but the familial connections become too complicated for me to much care.
