	Greeks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Greeks are a nation and ethnic group, who have populated Greece from the 17th century BC until the present day.
		After the 4th century BCE, Greek became the lingua franca of the East Mediterranean region and was widely spoken by educated non-Greeks.
		It was the name of a Boeotian tribe that migrated to Italy in the 8th century BC and probably through contact with natives there brought the term to represent all Hellenes, which then established itself in Italy and in the West in general.

	Phoenicia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The arrival of Alexander the Great in 333 – 332 BC is the main turning point, for Hellenistic Phoenicia lost its influential mercantile role, and the distinctive culture of its cities was Hellenized under Alexander and his Macedonian successors.
		At the beginning of the 2nd century BC, the Seleucid monarchy had finally reasserted its primacy on the former Phoenician coast, but the last Seleucid kings' local power was increasingly a fiction, as the cities, now thoroughly Hellenistic, regained local independence.
		The Amarna letters, dated to the 14th century BC, although written in Akkadian, the language of diplomacy at the time, contain solecisms that are not 'mistakes', but actually early Canaanite words and phrases.

	Hittites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The early history of the Hittite kingdom is known through tablets which may have been first written in the 17th century BC but survived only as copies made in the 14th and 13th centuries BC.
		The Hittite people thus vanished from the historical record, although their language and culture remained as late as the 5th century BC, and their legacy can be traced in several small independent states in central and southeastern Anatolia.
		Indeed, some centuries later two of King David's generals are labeled as Hittites, Ahimelech (1 Samuel 26:6) and Uriah (2 Samuel 11:3); the latter was murdered by David for the sake of his wife Bathsheba.

	Pistoia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The town was a Roman colony in the 6th century BC, and in 62 BC Catiline and his fellow conspirators were slain nearby.
