  Europa Barbarorum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In around the 4th millennium BC, the Eurasian steppes were dominated by Indo-European speaking peoples from the Caucasus and Anatolia and, in the 3rd millennium BC, these same Indo-Europeans founded the Yamnaya culture in today's Turkmenistan.

 Critias [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Whatever plans that Critias and the Thirty had for the establishment of a new oligarchic regime in Athens were abruptly halted by the military successes of a group of pro-democratic exiles led by Thrasybulus at the Athenian border post at Phyle and in the port town of Piraeus.
Whatever the reason, it is clear from the events of Socrates' trial in 399 BC and the scattered rebukes in fourth- and third-century BC literature that the attachment between Critias and the philosopher held fast in the popular mind (e.g., Xenophon, Memoribilia 1.2.12; Aeschines, Against Timarchus 173; and comic fragment 3:122 in T. Kock, ed.
In the sole surviving fragment of his hexameters, Critias celebrates the sixth-century BC poet Anacreon, who was reputed to be the lover of Critias' homonymous grandfather (fr.1).

 Salt made the world go round - CHINA
Although salt and iron were traditionally the responsibility of officials drawn from aristocratic families who often held other powerful government position concurrently - this particular minister was also head of Commerce and Finance departments - it was a deliberate policy of selection by merit rather than birth that led to their appointment.
The controversy, begun in 81 BC between the government School of Law, the political and philosophical wing of the former Ch'in dynasty, and the 'Litereati' traditionalists and followers of Confucius, it covered domestic issues, economic questions and above all, the ethics and philosophy of the time.
Before the 10th century most taxes in China were paid in kind; typically, the land owner paid in grain and his wife paid with her woven cloth; or a number of families might combine to provide a soldier, a horse or some lengths of silk; the salt areas paid in salt.

The ancient kingdom of Assyria, located in what is now northern Iraq, is mentioned in both the Old Testament of the Bible and in Ancient Greek sources, yet until the middle of the 19th century European historians considered its existence to be mythical, or at least unproven.
There is not even a map to show the extent of the Assyrian Empire, which at its height in the 7th Century BC took in territory as far afield as Egypt, and to show the location of sites discussed in the text.
Yet, on closing the book, the reader will have learnt much not only about Assyria, but also about the conditions under which 19th-century archaeology was carried out and the assumptions that governed this then undeveloped discipline.
