This period of c500BC[E] was also the centre of prophetic activity in Judaism.

It is (if I recollect rightly) the (?)’Axial Age’*** of foundation of World religions.****

In Circle history terms centred on Christ at Year c.0 (C.E.), it represents on the 2048 year cycle of Biblical Judaism the point G~ – Revolution, but with the strong radial resonance of Revelation.

By comparison, the foundation of Islam in the 7^th century c.e. [sic] occurred near to the g~ point (Revelation) of the (rather faint?) inner circle of the 2048 year Christian Era.#

**Also: Jainism founded c6th C[entury] BC[E];

& Taoism became established as a philosophy c481-221BC[E]

{Actually 800-200BCE (E[ncylopaedia] B[ritannica] 22:103}
