In the second millenium bce, in the Rig-Veda it was maintained the Earth was a globe and in the Yajur-Veda that the Earth circled the Sun.
About 510 bce, Almaeon of Crotona, a member of the Pythagorean medical circle, located the seat of perception in the brain, or enkephalos, and maintained that there were passages connecting the senses to the brain, a position he was said to have arrived at by dissections of the optic nerve.
By about 335 bce, Aristotle had said that universals are abstractions from particulars and that we "have knowledge of a scientific fact when we can prove that it could not be otherwise." But "since observation never shows whether this is the case," he established "reason rather observation at the center of scientific effort" (Park 1990:32).

Instead, he suggests that it is possible to recover something of the circumstances, conditions and contexts producing the materials by which Roman re-imagined itself -- a process that stretches from the archaic world of the eighth century BCE to the reign of Nerva in the first century CE.
Setting the parameters of his thesis, W. neatly sidesteps the extensive terminological debate about how 'myth' should be understood by defining it as 'a story that matters to a community, one that it told and retold because it has a significance from one generation to another'.
An Etruscan mirror of the late fourth century BCE and wall paintings in the 'François Tomb' at Vulci, filtered through the antiquarian interests of the emperor Claudius, alert W. to the origin of traditions about the Roman kings.

As a crucial turning point in the history of mankind’s spiritual path of evolution, the fifth century saw further decline and chaos as the Roman Empire collapsed, and with it came the complete disappearance of the true knowledge of the ancient Egyptian Sothic calendar.
In the year 4241 BCE the “flooding of the Nile” occurred from July 19 to November 15 (Julian calendar), or as we know better from June 15 to October 12 according to our civil calendar.
Meyer was convinced that for the entire beginning of the empire a perfect coincidence existed between the start of the flood season and the Sothic cycle marked by the so-called heliacal rising of the star Sirius.

Although Jeremiah in 587-582 BCE prophecized that God would use the Medes to destroy Babylon and set his people free, the author of the Primary History (562-560 BCE) probably was unaware of this prophecy.

Now generally thought to have been finalized between the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE, with the earliest existing copy dated at around 200 BCE, the Tao Te Ching may be the work of one or more anonymous Taoists seeking to offset Confucianism and Legalism.
Lao-tzu is said to have lived 160 years, and to have been the curator of the Imperial Library at K'au, leaving in his later years when he found the triviality of court and city life unnecessary to his inner existence.

Their antecedents are obscure: Roman authorities normally referred to them as Germans, and modern research has confirmed that to a large degree - but they dwelt in a region far removed from other Teutonic folk of their time, and they show some characteristics of Steppe-dwelling Iranians such as Scyths and Sarmatians.
They began their journeys from central Sweden in the early 1st century BCE - various locations there still recall in name their ancient inhabitants (see, for example, Gotland and Götland).
Their own earliest mythologies speak of two antagonistic groups, the Æsir and the Vanir - the former a group obsessed with the cult of the warrior and the martial virtues, the latter seeming to be focussed on land-use and fertility cults.
