Colchis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the 13th century BC, the Kingdom of Colchis was formed as a result of the increasing consolidation of the tribes inhabiting the region. Overrun by the Cimmerians and Scythians in the 730s-720s BC, the kingdom disintegrated and came under the Achaemenid Persian Empire towards the mid-6th century BC. Her son and successor Polemon II was induced by Emperor Nero to abdicate the throne, and both Pontus and Colchis were incorporated in the Province of Galatia (63) and later in Cappadocia (81). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Colchis   (1936 words)

Medes - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia It was perhaps owing to the need of being able to resist Assyria that about 720 BC the Medes (in part at least) united into a kingdom under Deiokes, according to Herodotus (i.98). Yet there was no Median empire (such as he describes) then, or at least it did not embrace all the Aryan tribes of Western Asia, as we see from the inscriptions that in 606 BC, and even later, many of them were under kings and princes of their own (compare Jeremiah 25:25; 51:11). Kyaxares warred for 5 years (590-585 BC) with the Lydians, the struggle being ended in May, 585, by the total eclipse of the sun foretold by Thales (Herodotus i.74). www.studylight.org /enc/isb/view.cgi?number=T5895   (930 words)

Saturnian Cosmology - Mechanics Thus the planets loosened from Saturn in 3114 BC would have orbits which closed in on the Sun at perihelion, but at aphelion were at the distance from the Sun where Saturn and Jupiter met in 3114 BC. The starting year 747 BC and the date of February 26 is use for the compilation of the "Era of Nabonasser" by Babylonian astronomers. There have been suggestions that 701 BC should be used, but we have a parallel record for 687 BC from Chinese records, and the suggestion for the date of March 23. saturniancosmology.org /mech.php   (7357 words)

Straight Dope Staff Report: Who wrote the Bible? (Part 3) Ezekiel was taken to Babylon with the exiles in 597 BC, and prophesied there during the exile from 593 to 563 BC. Obadiah condemns the Edomites for ravaging Judah after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC, so he presumably was writing between 585 and 500 BC (by which point the Edomites had been conquered by Arab tribes). The book of Daniel is set during the Babylonian Exile (580 BC and after), and tradition says it was written at that time, with an oracular preview of several centuries of future history. www.straightdope.com /mailbag/mbible3.html   (3312 words)

Saturnian Cosmology - Chronology The historical records were written after ca 2200 BC (the first contemporaneous statement of the Shû is in 2197 BC by the son of Yü), but woven in are a confused recollection of a series of earlier Gods. By 3100 or 3000 BC the culture of Egypt is uniform from Aswan to the delta. The date of 3114 BC actually a reasonable estimate for the start of time, that is, as the date for the close of the "Age of the Gods." The Olmecs must have had a knowledge of the number of solar years which had lapsed since various world-wide cataclysms. saturniancosmology.org /chron.php   (20274 words)

Karanus and Pheidonas » Macedonia on the Web Articles In 500 BC, flush with his country’s new-found wealth and importance, the young Makedonian prince Alexander I had presented himself at the Olympic Games as a contestant in the men’s foot race. Since the wedding must be dated to the 570s BC, this suggests that Pheidon must have livedroughly at the end of the seventh and the beginning of the sixth centuries BC. Since Ephoros dated the invasion of the Herakleids to 1069 BC, counting inclusively6 and probably equating three generations to a century, the 10th generation from Temenos should have fallen somewhere in the eighth century BC, presumably in the years ca. www.macedoniaontheweb.com /articles/?p=29   (1023 words)

Pheidon Pheidon, king of Argos, generally, though wrongly, called "tyrant." According to tradition he flourished during the first half of the 8th century BC, though probably in reality the 7th. Pausanias definitely states that Pheidon presided at the festival in the 8th Olympiad (748 BC), but in the list of the suitors of Agariste, daughter of Cleisthenes of Sicyon, given by Herodotus, there occurs the name of Leocedes (Lacedas), son of Pheidon of Argos. The suggested substitution in the text of Pausanias of the 28th for the 8th Olympiad (668 BC instead of 748 BC) would not bring it into agreement with Herodotus, for even then Pheidon's son could not have been a suitor in 570 for the hand of Agariste. www.nndb.com /people/845/000097554   (547 words)

Olympia and the Olympic Games From the time of the seventh Olympiad (748 BC) onwards the prize was a kotinos, a garland of wild olive from a sacred tree which grew on the site. It was built towards the end of the seventh century BC, at the foot of the Kronion. But in the middle of the fifth century BC it was moved to the east, beyond the boundaries of the enclosure, and embankments were built to accommodate spectators (Figure 12). www.odysseyadventures.ca /articles/olympia/articleolympia.htm   (2573 words)

Armenia - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia The Assyrian king Uras-Pal-acur (circa 1190-1170 BC) made a raid into Armenia, and mentions the central district (UrarTu proper, near Lake Van), the land of the Manna (Minni, Jeremiah 51:27), Nahri ("the Rivers"), Ashguza (Ashkenaz, ib), etc. Another invader was Tiglath-pileser I (circa 1110-1090 BC). Finally in 606 BC they took part in the destruction of Nineveh, and in that of Babylon later. Thus the Arsacide dynasty was established in that country and lasted till the fall of the Parthian empire (226 AD), the Armenian kings very generally recognizing the Parthian monarchs as their suzerains. www.searchgodsword.org /enc/isb/view.cgi?number=T741   (2035 words)

Nabataea: Bible Chronologies Solomon to Hezekiah Part I This co-regency lasted six years 868-862 BC and is indicated by the two dates given for the beginning of Johoram's reign over Judah; the first one, one year before the accession of Joram of Israel (II Kings 8:16). A few years later, about 898 BC Omri, to strengthen himself, appears to have contracted an alliance with Judah, for his daughter Athaliah was given to the heir of the Judean throne, Jehoshaphat. Yet nine years after this, late in 902 BC at the transition from the thirty-fifth to the thirty-sixth year of Asa, Baasha himself was still reigning in Israel (II Chronicles 15:19; 16:1). nabataea.net /solhez1.html   (5408 words)

Nabataea: Bible Chronology: Solomon to Hezekiah Part II During the reign of-Shal-maneser III of Assyria (860-825 BC, usual Assyrian dating) a series of campaigns into Syria were carried out, in which the Assyrians frequently came into contact with well known Biblical figures, among whom are found Ben-hadad (II) and Hazael, kings of Syria, and Jehu, king of Israel, is mentioned once. The campaign of 805 BC is near the date that Ben-hadad III succeeded Hazael, probably it was shortly after. From the mention of Shishak in Solomon's time, 958 BC, to the appearance of Tirhakah in 701 BC is, in the Bible, 257 years, exactly the same interval as given in Breasted's Egyptian Chronology, 945-688 BC, and the intervening points of contact are also spaced to harmonize perfectly. nabataea.net /solhez.html   (3780 words)

Ancient & modern Spectator, The - Find Articles This was because they could not fix on a date, fluctuating between 759 and 748 BC. When, after Alexander the Great's death in 323 BC, his local regents made themselves kings, their rule and that of their descendants was dated from the start of the reign, as an era (the Ptolemaic era, etc.). Surprisingly, dating by the years of a king/emperor's reign ('regnal years') is a late invention, beginning in Rome in AD 537. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3724/is_200002/ai_n8878937   (440 words)

The Middle Kingdom of Egypt The Year 0 Benchmark for Amenhotep I is determined by the other complete date of a heliacal rising attested for Egyptian history, though there continues to be dispute and uncertainty about interpreting the date. 25 February 748 BC The "Nabonassar" Benchmark is for the Era used by the Greco-Roman astronomer Claudius Ptolemy, who was using Babylonian astronomical records that went back to the beginning of the reign of the Babylonian King Nabû Nâs.iru in 747 BC. This was not an Era ever used by the Egyptians, but it continued to be used by astronomers at least until Copernicus, since it was easy to calculate using the even 365 days of the Egyptian year. www.friesian.com /notes/midking.htm   (2968 words)

3251 AM - 3500 AM or 749 BC - 500 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. www.hooper-home.net /CHRONO/From3251.htm   (5200 words)

Assyria - The Assyrian History - AN web site During the Old Assyrian period (c.1900-1550 BC) the territory was unified by a series of vigorous rulers, and its influence was felt along the middle Euphrates and westward into central Anatolia (modern Turkey), where Assyrian traders established commercial colonies. By 1800 BC, however, the coming of the HITTITES drove the Assyrians out of Anatolia, and the rise of Babylon under Hammurabi soon afterward caused a contraction of Assyrian power in Mesopotamia. By 1550 BC Assyria was part of the Kingdom of MITANNI; it did not regain independence until the collapse of that regime about 1365 BC. www.assyriannation.com /history/assyrian_history.htm   (642 words)

Meroe and Aksum - History for Kids! As early as 3000 BC, there was already trade from Nubia, south of Egypt, all along the Nile river to the Mediterranean Sea. But after the collapse of the New Kingdom - about 1000 BC - the Kushite kingdom began to get stronger again, and by 748 BC, the Kushites attacked and conquered Egypt (as the 25th Dynasty). After 150 years, in 591 BC, the Egyptians under Pharaoh Psammeticus II were able to throw out the Kushites and reconquer Nubia.When Egypt came under Persian control about 500 BC, Kush and Meroe also came under Persian influence. www.historyforkids.org /learn/africa/history/meroe.htm   (649 words)
