| | Hebrews, History Of Judaism |
| | Already in 139 BCE the Jews of Rome were charged by the praetor (civil administrator) with attempting to contaminate Roman morals with their religion, presumably an allusion to proselytism. | | | In the 2nd century BCE a Jew who used the name of Hecataeus wrote On the Jews. | | | In a work on the analogical interpretation of the Law of Moses, Aristobulus in the 2nd century BCE anticipated Philo in attempting to harmonize Greek philosophy and the Torah, in using the method of allegory to explain anthropomorphisms in the Bible, and in asserting that the Greek philosophers were indebted to Moses. |

| | Critique Of Gurshtein's Zodiacal Origins |
| | Gurshtein now holds that circa the 3rd millennium BCE, somewhere in the Near East, the first ecliptic quartet was supplemented with the second symbolic quartet that combined a bull (spring), a lion (summer), a scorpion (fall), and a performer of water rites (winter). | | | In the 1st millennium BCE the last zodiacal quartet was placed on the tropical points of the ecliptic, including a ram (spring), a cancer/lobster (summer), a scale (fall), and a fish-goat (winter). | | | Lion-headed eagle iconography existed in the Syrian Kingdom of Mari circa 2600-2300 BCE (and was a common motif in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BCE). |

| | Abrahamic religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | All the Abrahamic religions are derived to some extent from Judaism as practiced in ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah prior to the Babylonian Exile, at the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE. | | | Many believe that Judaism in Biblical Israel was renovated and reformed to some extent in the 6th century BCE by Ezra and other priests returning to Israel from the exile. | | | This can be attributed to the fact that Judaism is primarily focused on life, and not what happens after. |

| | No architectural remains from the first half of the second millennium BCE were observed and described at Susa, and no traces of buildings have been preserved. | | | The earliest glazed bricks dated with any certainty are the orthostates of Tukulti Ninurta II (890-884 BCE); see W. Andrae, Coloured Ceramics from Ashur [Berlin, 1925], Pls. | | | This evidence shows that there was in the twelfth century BCE a further development in the decoration of glazed tiles.[52] We therefore date to this time a tile which shows a bird-footed demon standing on two griffins and probably holding two others in his hands. |
