In your usual scurry to cut n paste, you didn't scroll down far enough....yes we know all about these other civilizations & tribes that were extremely active, why i brought up the most obvious of all----> Egyptians who were some of the earliest with these written records : Virtually nothing from 600BC when it all starts to get nutz again in the 1rst century (like the Taliban/zealouts today), guess they were just enjoying the secular Hellenic peace a little too much after Alexander? This is all thats listed: 5th century BC[ edit] Elephantine papyri, ancient Jewish papyri dating to the 5th century BC, name three persons mentioned in Nehemiah: Darius II, Sanballat the Horonite and Johanan the high priest. 2nd century BC[ edit] Hasmonean coinage (164 BC – 35 BC)

One would would have thought there would have been much to write about with Alexander the Great, when it involved the most dramatic shifts of power & cultural exchanges all over the region for the next 250yrs? Not very good record keeping at all, then we find hardly any other real significant finds except for some meagre scrolls in caves that date not that far back to 2nd century . Alexander just didn't compute or fit into any known mold or prophesies so just ignoring the best route? Hell of a cherry picking way to write History, but glad you're finally catching on how the Greeks contributed to the rational side of things, that intelligent design some men's minds can generate, not all, but some.
