Dating the Pentateuch Grayson's articles point out that Calah was the capital of Assyria during the 9th-7th centuries BCE until it was succeeded by Nineveh which became Assyria's capital during the reign of Sennacherib (BCE) in the 7th century. This archaeological anomaly suggests that Genesis could not have been composed in the 7th century BCE because within "living memory" there would be a realization that the city was a recent creation. A 7th-6th century Bozrah (the principal building remains are 7th-6th centuries, not 8th) suggests Genesis was composed either in the 6th or 5th century BCE. www.meta-religion.com /World_Religions/Christianity/Articles/Ancient_religions/dating_the_pentateuch.htm   (2255 words)

A Brief History of Persian Empire In the 17th century BCE when the Kassites began to take over Babylon, they also dominated Elam, as Aryans came through Iran on their way to India bringing Indo-Iranian languages in the first half of the second millennium BCE. Elam clashed with Assyria in the thirteenth century BCE but reached its height of power in the twelfth century BCE when Shutruk-nahhunte I overthrew the Kassites in Babylon, and his son took the statue of Marduk to Susa. In 465 BCE Xerxes was assassinated in the royal bedchamber by a conspiracy led by Artabanus, Megabyzus, and the eunuch chamberlain Aspamitres. www.cais-soas.com /CAIS/History/brief_history_of_persian_empire.htm   (7545 words)

11. Intro Sumerian Kinglist   (Site not responding. Last check: ) In 1800 AD very little more was known than in 400 BCE about the earliest history of Mesopotamia, although these sources had served to stir the imagination of poets and artists, down to "Sardanapalus" (probably Ashurbanipal, or, as he was known to the Greeks, Sardanapalus, reigned from 668 to 626 BCE.). Today this subject is still known as Assyriology, because at the end of the 19th century the great majority of cuneiform texts came from the Assyrian city of Nineveh, in particular from the library of King Ashurbanipal in the mound of Kuyunjik at Nineveh. The Early Dynastic period ran from 2900 BCE to 2370 BCE and it is this period for which we begin to have more reliable written accounts although some of the great kings of this era later evolved mythic tales about them and were deified. www.earth-history.com /Earth-11.htm   (9912 words)

Thebes The city became important during the 11th Dynasty (21st century BCE) when the local governor gained control over the entire Egypt, and Thebes stayed on as capital until the 14th century BCE, when Akhenaten became Pharaoh.

[No title] Bernal assumes that this pharaoh should be identified with the Sesostris mentioned by the fifth- century BCE historian Herodotus (2.102-10) and the Sesoosis mentioned by the first-century BCE writer Diodorus Siculus (1.53-58), and he accepts these 20 Thomas A. Schmitz writers' accounts of his conquests. This relatively stable Pax Aegyptiaca began to disintegrate in the 13th century BCE when the balance of powers in the Mediterranean shifted and some empires (such as the Hittite) were destroyed. Hence, from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, scholars attacked the Ancient Model, replacing it with the view that Greek civilization was by and large free from any outside influences and had been developed by an Indo-European people that had invaded Greece from the north during the late bronze age. www.geocities.com /duarta/bernal.txt   (16663 words)

21st Century Charity The challenge for 21st century charity is to forge a set of principles that enable people to live peacefully with their deepest differences while uniting as allies or co-belligerents for the sale of local and global needs. For the 21st century, charity must include the preservation of individual initiative and reward. Confucian thinking provides the second Asian principle for 21st century charity: family and community are more important than the individual. www.inst.net /21st_century_charity.html   (2241 words)

Mayton English 500 Fall 1998 The term rhetoric (rhLtorikL) was first coined by Plato in the 4th century BCE, whose disciplinary use of the term separated the art of persuasion from philosophy.2 While the term rhLtorikL is exclusive to Ancient Greece, references to magic are found in cultures all over the world. The classical period of Chinese history is thought to have ended in 221 BCE with the establishment of the Qin or Ch=in dynasty, which began the Great Wall and attempted to destroy all remnants of the classical period by censoring and burning books (Kennedy 142). According to Xing Lu'Rhetoric in Ancient China Fifth to Third Century BCE, A[f]rom the Xia to Shang dynasties (approximately twenty-first to eleventh century BCE), the Chinese rhetorical experience was characterized by mythological and ritualistic communication in the form of the oral transmission of legends, along with rites of ancestor worship and divinations"(6). www.cwru.edu /affil/sce/old/ricemayton500.html   (3644 words)

The Etruscans and the Sea Remarkably enough, some goods are still being transported in amphorae in the 21st century, although nowadays it is much is more common to find stainless steel bulk containers for bulk wine or olive oil shipments. There are two types of amphora: the neck amphora, in which the neck meets the body at a sharp angle; and the one-piece amphora, in which the neck and body form a continuous curve. The first is common from the Geometric period to the decline of Greek pottery; the second appeared in the 7th century BCE. www.mysteriousetruscans.com /sea.html   (2373 words)

In the early 2nd millennium BCE (Wadi Suq (Wa@di Suq) period in Oman) ceramic forms and fabrics change and simple wavy lines painted on storage jars, coupled with comb-incised decoration and raised shoulder ridges replace the often elegant fl-on-orange chevrons of the earlier period. 2269-55 BCE) an Akkadian governor in Pashime (Paæima) is attested but the region must have regained its independence by the early 21st century BCE, perhaps as a result of the collapse of the Akkadian empire, for during the reign of Shulgi (r. www.iranica.com /newsite/articles/ot_grp7/ot_pers_gulf_ant_200503223.html   (7703 words)

Genesis 1:28 'Be fruitful and multiple;' implications for same-sex marriage The Hypothesis asserts that the author of the creation story seen in the first verses of the Bible was an anonymous 6th Century BCE writer or group of writers of the priestly tradition (often referred to as "P").

Deconstructing The Walls Of Jericho Despite the excavators' efforts, it emerged that in the late part of the 13th century BCE, at the end of the Late Bronze Age, which is the agreed period for the conquest, there were no cities in either tell, and of course no walls that could have been toppled. The authors of the biblical account knew Jerusalem in the 8th century BCE, with its wall and the rich culture of which remains have been found in various parts of the city, and projected this picture back to the age of the united monarchy. These inscriptions, from the 8th century BCE, raise the possibility that monotheism, as a state religion, is actually an innovation of the period of the Kingdom of Judea, following the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel. www.rense.com /general12/decon.htm   (3175 words)

What is Theravada Buddhism? Together these three are known as the Tipitaka, the "three baskets." In the third century BCE Sri Lankan monks began compiling a series of exhaustive commentaries to the Tipitaka; these were subsequently collated and translated into Pali beginning in the fifth century CE. Until the late 19th century, the teachings of Theravada were little known outside of southern Asia, where they had flourished for some two and one-half millennia. In the centuries after the Buddha's death, as Buddhism spread across India into regions of different dialects, Buddhist monks increasingly depended on a common tongue for their Dhamma discussions and recitations of memorized texts. www.accesstoinsight.org /lib/authors/bullitt/theravada.html   (3177 words)
