1,100 B.C. The Age of Greece (1100 BC - 323 BC)
The beginnings of Greece was in the form of the Minoan culture, named after the legendary King Minos, on the island of Crete. From here, this great civilization spread to the rest of Europe, resulting in what we term the Greek civilization today. Greek gods and goddesses corresponds to later Indian mythical panthenon.
1000 800 BC
Vedism as a religion was formalized with the Brahmans as priests.
But all rituals are handed down orally only - there were no written scriptures for Vedism
This corresponds to the period of the beginning of Kingship in Israel - Period of Saul, David and Solomon. We have the songs of David (Psalms) written down and elaborate temple rituals in Jerusalem at that time
David - King of Israel wrote a number of Hymns
