At the great Panhellenic sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi the Athenians during the sixth and fifth centuries BC were responsible for single-handedly erecting two architectural monuments (Athenian Treasury, Stoa of the Athenians), and were partially responsible for the construction of a third (Archaic Temple of Apollo).
In 513 BC the Alkmaeonids tried to win their way back into Athens by force, but were defeated at the Battle of Leipsydrion.
Previously burnt down in 548 BC, the Temple was now rebuilt with a peripteral colonnade of 6 by 15 Doric columns, this long and narrow profile constituting a common feature of Archaic stone-built temples.

Zoroaster is said to have travelled to Anatolia, the Asian peninsula south of the Black sea that is now Turkey, but in the seventh century BC was Ionian Greek in the West, Lydian in the centre and bordered Assyria in the east, with Persia beyond.
Between the years 1000 and 800 BC, when the Persians were migrating south of the Caucasus toward their ultimate destination on the Iranian plateau, Greeks settled the mainland and the coast of Asia Minor, and grew in number.
Sometime before 700 BC Homer, a Greek poet who lived on the coast of Asia Minor, wrote down an epic poem called the Iliad, a story about war between the Mycenae Greeks and the city of Troy that had been passed from generation to generation in the oral tradition.

 History of Go - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No one knows when the first game was played, but by the 6th century BC it was considered a worthy pastime for a gentleman, and described as such in the Analects of Confucius.
Go's early history is debated, but there are myths about its existence, one of which assumes that Go was an ancient fortune telling device used by Chinese cosmologists to simulate the universe's relationship to an individual.
According to legend, the game was used as a teaching tool after the ancient Chinese Emperor Yao 堯 (2337 - 2258 BC) designed it for his son, Danzhu, who he thought needed to learn discipline, concentration, and balance.

 Dynasties 26: Psammetichus I, Necho II, Apries, Amasis, Psammetichus III
Nekau (Necho) II 610-595 BC Nekau (II), who we know better as Necho, was either the 2nd or 3rd  king of Egypt's 26th Dynasty, depending on whether we allow the rule of a nominal king Nekau I at the beginning of the Dynasty.
We believe that Amasis was the son of a Lady Takheredeneset, and married two women by the names of Tentheta and Nakhtsebastetru.  He may have had a third wife named Khedebneithireretbeneret, who was actually a daughter of his great nemesis, Apris.
He is said to have even financed the rebuilding of the temple of Apollo at Delphi after its destruction in 548 BC.

The solar eclipse is said to have occurred on the day hsin-mao (the 28th day of the sexagenary cycle), which was the first day of the 10th lunar month.
A date of 776 BC was formerly adopted for such an event, but modern computations show that no solar eclipse in that year was visible in China.
The Ch'un-ch'iu ('Spring and Autumn Annals'), a chronicle covering the period from 722 BC to 481 BC, notes the occurrence of 36 solar eclipses during this interval.

The beginning of the third millennium BC was characterized with the emergence of the old empires in the east accompanied by the discovery of writing and the start of writing history.
During the third millennium BC, the Ammonites, the Canaanites and also the Yabousians and the Phoenicians, which are considered sub-branches of the Canaanites, had migrated to settle in Palestine.
From the historical aspect, it seems that this period fell during the thirteenth century BC, and the departure of the Children of Israel from Egypt was exactly during the last third of that century.

The two armies met somewhere in the north-west Egyptian Delta in about January or February of 570 BC, and Apries was forced to retreat.
Apries's apparent retreat was only as far south as Memphis and he continued to control southern Egypt, while Amasis established himself at Sais in Northern Egypt.
Yet Apries was not content with this, and aided by his Greek troops, once again marched on Amasis in October of 570 BC, where he was once again defeated by his former general.
