Rise of Civilizations

A timeline to place civilizations in time, to help me plan.

Post-Exilic Period

1 1656

The Edneim build the first cities to the south of their original location. This is the result of an intense population explosion relating to the development of animal husbandry and agriculture. Due to the murder of Abel and the dispersal of Abel's people, the Edneim are divided into two people, the Qayinim and Sethim.
