Here you will find an organic open source review of world history, Feel free to add events and interpretations for eas time period in the Comments section below, and I will expand each post as new research comes to Light.

The era around 500 BC represents Persia at the top of the world, with Darius proclaiming Aramaic to be the official language of the western half of the Empire.

Empires to come in Macedonia (Alexander I succeeds his father Amyntas I) and Rome (first consuls just now being elected) were still far off, and the foundations of Buddhism were being laid in in India with the birth and revelatory teachings of Siddartha Gautama. Cleisthenes was refining the practice of democracy in Athens, and in China Confucious had been appointed Governor of the Province of Chung-tu, near present day Beijing.

Circa 493 BC, Athenian people elect Themistocles as archon, the chief judicial and civilian executive officer in Athens. He favours resistance against the Persians.
