 Regular convex polytopes a short historical overview, Regular Polytopes and n-dimensional packing of points
In his work "the Timaeus" there is a mathematical construction of the elements, in which the cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron are given as the shapes of the atoms of earth, fire, air, and water.
In 300 B.C. Euclid, student of the school of Plato, proved in his manuscript "The Elements XII" that in 3 dimensions there are just 5 regular bodies called polyhedra with the properties of having faces made out of regular polygons all being convex.
Euclid also mentions that although the cube, the tetrahedron (called pyramid) and the dodecahedron are credited to the Pytagoreans (scholars of phytagoras), the octahedron and icosahedron are due to Theaetetus of Athens, a friend of Plato.

The Pseudo-Christian view is to mis-apply the prophecies to a series of specific historical events culminating in the year 168 BC, when the Seleucid King, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, profaned the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem by sacrificing swine meat upon the Hola Altar.
This circumstance alone should be sufficient to dispel the notion of modern scholars that Dan’iel was not composed until 168 BC, but of course, solely for the sake of their theory, they will claim that Dan’iel was somehow "added later" into the Septuagint version...
The obvious solution is the simple one: that over the years between 520 BC and 250 AD, the text became slightly corrupted, as some of the names of kings got inxeplicably mixed up and jumbled by copyists.

 JWSR v6n1 - Eric Cline
During the second millennium BC, the flanking rival empires which were competing for military, economic, and political control of Syria-Palestine were the Egyptians and the Hittites, but they consistently fought further north, in the region of Kadesh and even as far as Ugarit in northern Syria.
The coming of the Greeks in 332 BC changed the nationality of the invading armies, but little else, for Megiddo and the Jezreel Valley remained a "contested periphery." Alexander the Great and his army almost certainly passed right by Megiddo, apparently without needing to fight a battle, while conquering Syria-Palestine and Egypt.
Following Alexander’s death in 323 BC, the lands which he had conquered were split up among several of his generals.

Pythagoras was born in Samos around about 569 BC, Ravi — we don’t know exactly when, because it has not been recorded.
This actually turned out rather well for him, as he was able to learn all about their ideas about maths and music.
