The Zhou, a former feudal tributary of the Shang kingdom, had taken power in China sometime around 1045 B.C. (some estimates are earlier) by defeating their former masters, the Shang, at the battle of Muye.
2. In Polynesia, which culture had extended itself as far east as Samoa and Tonga by the year 1000 B.C.?

Answer: Lapita

The Lapita culture arose first in New Guinea and made its way east using newly developed, ocean-going outrigger canoes.
3. By approximately the year 1000 B.C., which king had captured the city of Jerusalem?

Answer: David

David was the second king of the Hebrews, after Saul. David also conquered the Philistines, Ammonites, Moabites and Edomites under his reign.
4. Which culture was in the process of first settling the Yucatan Peninsula around 1000 B.C.?

Answer: Mayan

The Mayans were originally from the mountains and hills of modern-day Guatemala but spread throughout the Yucatan Peninsula from 1000 B.C. to 800 B.C.
5. Around 1000 B.C. which sea-going culture was in the midst of developing its complex network of trade cities throughout the Mediterranean?

Answer: Phoenician

The Phoenicians settled Carthage, among many other sites throughout the Mediterranean region. The alphabet that we use was developed from the Phoenician writing system.
6. In Egypt, which dynasty was reigning around 1000 B.C.?

Answer: 21st

Amazingly, while many other civilizations were just getting started, the ancient Egyptians were already well into their 21st Dynasty by 1000 B.C. The 21st Dynasty was dominated by high priests, rather than Pharoahs, and is considered a relatively low point in the ancient history of the area.
7. While the Egyptian 'New Kingdom' floundered, which kingdom to the south (in the area also called Nubia) found itself reinvigorated around 1000 B.C.?

Answer: Kush

With their kingdom centered at Napata, the Kushites were able to remain powerful for several centuries, even conquering Egypt at one point in the 8th century B.C. (where they became the 25th Dynasty).
8. In much of eastern and central Europe by the year 1000 B.C., bronze working cultures were becoming prominent. What is the general term used to describe these cultures?

Answer: Urnfield

They were called Urnfield cultures by virtue of the fact that, upon the death of their citizens, the remains were cremated and then placed in bronze urns which were in turn buried under vast fields.
9. By 1000 B.C. Greek civilization was in the midst of what historians typically refer to as what?

Answer: Greek dark age

During the Greek dark age, Mycenaean civilization fell and was replaced by that of the Dorians, who began infiltrating Greece around 1100 B.C.
10. Along the Andean seaboard in South America, which of these cultures was not flourishing around 1000 B.C.?

Answer: Incan

The Inca state didn't begin to develop until around 1200 A.D.
