  Zhou Dynasty - MSN Encarta
Although the Zhou dynasty was founded in about 1027 BC, the Zhou conquest of the Shang dynasty in about 1045 BC established the Zhou as the supreme political power in China.
In about 1027 BC the Zhou dynasty was founded by King Wen, who increased the Zhou's influence by incorporating regions west and northwest of the Shang kingdom, thereby flanking it on two fronts.
Under the leadership of Duke Wen, who reigned from 636 to 628 bc, and Duke Xiang (Hsiang), who reigned from 627 to 621 bc, the Jin rule was so well organized that they were able to maintain their political domination in the Zhou world until the end of the Spring and Autumn period.

 (38) F. E. Pargiter (1852-1927).
From the 7th king of Brihadrath dynasty and up to the last king of Shishunag dynasty, the reigning period was 448 years; and from the 1st to 6th king of Brihadrath dynasty (the first dynasty after Mahabharat war), the reigning period was 100 years.
So, 3139 BC (-) 1,598 years of the total reign of four dynasties comes to 1541 BC, which was the coronation year of Chandragupt Maurya who succeeded after Mahapadm Nand.
Instead of 1541 BC, Pargiter took 322 BC for Chandragupt Maurya because it was stated by Sir William Jones, and thus, terminated 1,219 years in one shot.

 Saturnian Cosmology - Part 12: The 7th century BC and the start of History
Secondly, in the first and second century BC it was universally accepted by all the Mediterranean civilizations that the vernal equinox was located at 8 degrees of Aries.

Although in the 8th and 7th centuries BC the metaphorical qualities of the Gods was clearly understood, the Gods, and who they were, also represented religious notions imparted to members of society of an age before a (critical) subjective consciousness was developed (as is true today of us).

 Monte Polizzo: The Stanford project
The dominant concept in the archaeology of Iron Age Sicily is "Hellenization." This is the theory that between the eighth century BC, when the first settlers from Aegean Greece arrived, and the later fourth century, when Timoleon of Corinth brought another major wave of immigrants from Aegean Greece, the native populations of Sicily became Greek.
The eighth century BC (the coming of the Phoenicians and Greeks) and the third century BC (the coming of the Romans) assume particular importance.
Selinous was founded in 651/0 or 628/7 BC, and seems to have pushed inland aggressively throughout the sixth and fifth centuries, expanding its arable farmland.
