		By the ninth century it received the distinction, along with the Tyrian dialect, ofbecoming the medium of monumental inscriptions of local rulers (Kilamuwa of Samal [Zengirli] and Azitawada in Cilicia).
		The script of that era as it survives in archaeological contexts is quite different from the Hebrew script appearing in the earliest examles we have of the Pentateuch from the 3rd/2nd centuries BCE (found in association with the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran and vicinity).
		The absence of any written examples of Hebrew for the 16th-15th centuries is explained-away by claiming it was written on perishable materials (parchment) and it is therefore unrealistic to expect any examples to survive of that era.

	Mencius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Better known in China as “Master Meng” (Chinese: Mengzi), Mencius was a fourth-century BCE Chinese thinker whose importance in the Confucian tradition is second only to that of Confucius himself.

	Confucius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Sources for the historical recovery of Confucius' life and thought are limited to texts that postdate his traditional lifetime (551-479 BCE) by a few decades at least and several centuries at most.
		Such mythmaking was very important to the emerging imperial Chinese state, however, as it struggled to impose cultural unity on a vast and fractious territory during the final few centuries BCE and beyond into the Common Era.
		After the initial persecution of Confucians during the short-lived Qin dynasty (221-202 BCE), the succeeding Han emperors and their ministers seized upon Confucius as a vehicle for the legitimation of their rule and the social control of their subjects.

		Kermes carmine was used as a dye and a laked pigment in ancient Egypt, Greece and the near East and is one of the oldest organic pigments; cochineal carmine was used by the Aztecs and was first imported to Europe in the 1530's from Spanish conquests in America.
		The dye was used in China and India since 2000 BCE, was known to ancient Egyptians as far back as the 16th century BCE, was mentioned in several Roman texts, and became common in Europe from the 13th century, both from domestic production (as woad) and as an import from the Middle East.
