Although it would fall out of common usage in or around 1100 BCE (except for, or almost exclusively in the university/scholarly realm, as well as in its mother country), its presence would be felt in more modern languages such as Latin and later English.
As a great number of Biblical texts were transcribed in Aramaic (arising in Aram (modern day Syria) in or near 800 BCE), along with the rising popularity of the Gospels, teachings of both the language and theological aspects therein became more prevalent in society.
This would be furthered by the eventual translations of the Aramaic into Hebrew and/or Yiddish which began to flourish in the Arabic peninsula and the surrounding areas along with the established language found in Qur'anic texts.

 Kronos: 0000-0499
Because 7400 BCE currently represents the longest continuous tree-ring series: carbon-14 in the atmosphere fluctuates from year to year, and without tree ring samples, that fluctuation cannot be precisely determined.
Accordingly, Chinese dates earlier than the ninth century BCE that are not supported by archeological data should be treated with suspicion, and all dates that are not supported by external data should be treated with caution.
Be that as it may, while Homer attributed the causes of the Trojan War to the wrath of Achilleus and the beauty of Helen, modern scholars usually attribute it to trade disputes and generic conflagration-era battles between infantry and charioteers.

 Bêl-šimânni and Šamaš-eriba
A remark by Arrian of Nicomedia, a Roman author using fourth-century BCE sources, who states that Xerxes subdued a Babylonian revolt when he was on his way back from Greece (479).
The archives that came to an end in 484 were those of the traditional Babylonian establishment and people who had close ties to it, like the Egibi family.
It is not impossible that there was after the revolt of Bêl-šimânni and Šamaš-eriba in 484, which led to the end of the archives, a second revolt took place in 479.

It was a rich emporium of valuable and precious metals and the luxurious lives led by its inhabitants linked it in their minds to the legends of Atlantis and Hesperides, the Isles of the Blessed, which were located in the same direction and were maybe even in the same place.
Strabo, 58 BC-25 CE, who described it in his Geography was drawing very largely on Herodotos, 484 BCE - 420 BCE, who described in detail the immense wealth and generosity of the Tartessans and particularly of their King Arganthonios, "The Silver One".
The story is also told of the Tartessans, in the 6th century BCE, giving the Phocaean Greeks 1 1/2 tons of silver to pay for a defensive wall around their city to keep out the Persians.

 Solon of Athens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This means that his ten-year tour ended in 584 BCE, and this causes these chronologists to reject Herodotus' report in its entirety.
Since these chronologists have limited the desolation of the land of Israel to forty-eight years, which places the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE, they must fix the date for start of the reign of Amasis in 570 BCE, and that would be fourteen years after Solon had returned to Athens.
Thus, these chronologists reject the testimony of Herodotus, who was born in 484 BCE, and accept the testimony of astronomical records that were complied many centuries later.

Much evidence of this can still be found in the Old Testament, when the editors slip up and leave a plural, in reference to their "Jahveh," instead of a singular (e.g., Genesis 1:26).
And much of their holy writings was clearly copied: the Potiphar story, for example, is derived from the Egyptian "Tale of Two Brothers." Yet the Hebrew tribes were so obscure that they failed to attract the attention of either Herodotus (484-425 BCE) or Alexander (356-323 BCE).
When the Hebrews came in contact with better civilizations, they adopted better morals and revised their holy writings — until the canon was closed in the fourth century BCE.

From the moment they met the Greeks, the Iranians incorporated subject or mercenary Greeks in their army [41].
By the time of Alexander, these mercenaries had become a regular part of the spāda and their leaders had been incorporated into Iranian aristocracy [43].
In 335 BCE both Athens and Thebes sought Iranian help, and the ambassadors of the latter city were received with the greatest honour at the Imperial court and their wishes were granted on the account that their forebears had rendered military assistance to Xerxes 150 years earlier [108].

Around 520 BCE, Polycrates, the ruler of Samos, commissioned Eupalinos of Megara to construct a tunnel and aqueduct to bring fresh water from a distant natural spring to the harbor city called Samos (now Pythagorion).
Unfortunately for Eupalinos, the spring and the city are separated by a range of hills and small mountains.

 Confucius
Confucius (551-479 BCE), according to Chinese tradition, was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought.
In any case, by most traditional accounts, Confucius returned to Lu in 484 BCE and spent the remainder of his life teaching, putting in order the Book of Songs, the Book of Documents, and other ancient classics, as well as editing the Spring and Autumn Annals, the court chronicle of Lu.
While Confucius believes that people live their lives within parameters firmly established by Heaven—which, often, for him means both a purposeful Supreme Being as well as ‘nature’ and its fixed cycles and patterns—he argues that men are responsible for their actions and especially for their treatment of others.

Even though this temple honored both Castor and his twin brother Pollux, who were collectively called the Dioscuri, Romans called it the Temple of Castor or of the Castores (you think to youself that Castor always did get more attention!).
The temple was originally dedicated, according to Livy, in 484 BCE next to the Pool of Juturna (lacus Juturnae), the goddess of springs whom you remember from her prominent role in the last part of Vergil's Aeneid.
The founding of this temple is generally thought to have been the introduction of the cult of these two brothers into Rome.
