AI overview

I don't have enough context to write an accurate overview of "690." You've indicated it's a year, but without additional information about what happened, what was significant, or what field this relates to (history, astronomy, etc.), I cannot provide a factual 2-sentence explanation. Could you provide more context about what "690" refers to?
