To the North, the Umbrians advanced and occupied Rimini and Ravenna (Strabo V,1,7 & 10-11) but the main cause of the Etruscan demise in the plain of the Po was an invasion by the Celts (Cenomani and Boii- who gave their name to Bologna, as well as the Insubres and Senones).
Nothing that happened subsequently was to change their attitude- neither the death throes of their naval supremacy (The beginning of the end was their defeat at Cumae in 474 BCE) nor the loss of the Po Valley League to the Celts.

 The Treasures of Tutankhamun
Civilization, as we know it, originated in the lands that we designate as “Near East” or “Middle East.” While farming, domestication of animals, and early technologies probably arose first in Mesopotamia, they were quickly adopted by Egyptians, and Egypt is credited with being the first large state to unite as a single kingdom.
It is sometimes confusing to people in the West, of European orientation, to think of “Lower” Egypt as being to the north, bordering on the Mediterranean Sea, while “Upper” Egypt lies to the South.

 About the Hebrew Calendar
Reverse calculation gives the time of the first new moon of Year 1 as 5 hours and 204 halakhim from the beginning of the second day of the week (Monday).
Since we know the Civil date corresponding to Day 0 in the Hebrew calendar (October 5, 3761 BCE -- two days before the Molad Tishrei for Year 1), it is a straightforward matter to add the weeks and days to this date to arrive at the corresponding date for any date in the Hebrew calendar.
Convert it to the number of days since March 3 of Civil Year 0 (commonly written 1 BCE), by subtracting 1,721,120, which is the Julian day number for that day (using the Gregorian calendar).
