Eurth is the homeworld of humanity, the only known intelligent life in the Universe. The earliest humanoids were the Europithecus afropensis. It appeared about two million years ago and, in several early migrations, it spread throughout southwest-Europa. This region includes such nations as Jilderen, Cabarria, Afropa, Bhalman and Dragonryders. It was likely the first human species to live in a hunter-gatherer society and to control fire. An adaptive and successful species, Europithecus afropensis persisted for more than a million years, and gradually diverged into new species by around 500.000 years ago, most notably Europithecus saharensis which adapted to live in a savannah-like climate of that time in Sa Hara. Civilisation is a cooperative product that all peoples have contributed to. It is our common legacy and debt.

Stone Age

Paleolithic

Before 15.000 BCE.

  • Cave dwellings
  • 2,3M-1,8M: Stone tools
  • 700K-120K: Fire
  • 100K: Language
  • 72K-42K: Clothing
  • 50K: Early humans reach Marenesia and Alharu during the last glacial maximum and when the sea level was probably more than 110m lower than today
  • Hunter-gatherers spread north across the continent. Pottery remains found in different styles.

Mesolithic

From 15.000 to 5.000 BCE. Since the beginning of the Holocene period 12.000 years ago which marked the beginning of the Neolithic Revolution and agriculture, human activity has drastically changed the geography and biosphere of Eurth through urbanisation and deforestation.

  • 11.000 BCE: Last Ice Age ends
  • 11.000 BCE: Pigs domesticated
  • 11.000-9.000 BCE: Sheep domesticated
  • 10.000-9.000 BCE: Founder crops of agriculture
  • 13.000-8.000 BCE: Rice domesticated
  • 8.500 BCE: Cattle domesticated

Neolithic

From 5.000 to 2.000 BCE.

  • 4.500 BCE: Rowing oars
  • 3.500 BCE: Wheel
  • 3.200 BCE: Domestication of the horse
  • 3.000 BCE: Writing
  • 3.000 BCE: Camels domesticated
  • 3.000-1.000 BCE: Exploration of the Marenesia islands by sailors
  • 2.500: Sailing. The earliest seaworthy boats may have been developed as early as 4500 years ago.

Bronze Age

Around the 4th millennium BCE, the complexity of trade and administration outgrew human memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form. The invention of writing coincides in some areas with the early beginnings of the Bronze Age.

  • Metallurgy
  • Potter's wheel
  • Copper and bronze tools
  • Cradles of civilisation, including craft, trade
  • City-states: urban centres surrounded by politically attached communities
  • Ethnic gods, state religion

Iron Age

  • Iron tools
  • Includes trade and much specialization; often taxes
  • City-states turn into small local Kingdoms
  • One or more religions sanctioned by the state
  • Declines, falls and resurgence

Classical Age

This age lasts approximately from 1000 BCE to 500 CE.

  • 800-300 BCE: Axial age. New ways of thinking appeared regarding religion and philosophy, in a striking parallel development, without any obvious direct cultural contact between all of the participating cultures. Key thinkers from this age had a profound influence on future philosophies and religions.
  • Smaller local kingdoms turn into regional Empires. One such empire is formed by the boy-king Alexander of Adthens. He dreamed of conquering the known world. Starting in his home city of Adthens, Alexander conquered the four known corners of the Occident.
  • The Aroman Empire. The Aroman Empire emerges in northwest-Europa. Built on top of the Alexandrian empire, they expand into a much larger territory by conquering central Europa. Around 200 CE the Aroman Empire becomes too large to be governed from a single location and it is split into two self-governing halves. Internal mismanagement and external threats cause the Empire to collapse. Its core remains continued as Tagmatium and Adaptus. The Aroman influences can still be felt by the language ties around the Byzantine Sea, from Byzantium Nova (west) to Pirilao (east).
  • Anglo-Germano-Celto-Nordic tribes extend from Magnaeus, over Akiiryu to Vocenae and Nan Gorgwaith.
  • Great Plains people to the east of them, including Mongol-Swedes and Akiiryu.
  • Asiatic nations on the eastern shores, from Koku to Ide Jima.
  • Island nations on the fringes, such as Miiros and Orioni.

Post-Classical Era

This age lasts approximately from 500 CE to 1500.

  • 500-1500: pseudo-Middle Ages in Europa
  • 500-1500: Late Aroman Empire persists in Byzantium Nova
  • 550-700: First Plague
  • 750-1250: Pseudo-Islamic Golden Age in Haken Rider and Sa Hara
  • 1250: Pseudo-Mongol invasion from the steppe tribes
  • 1300-1900: Pseudo-Ottoman Empire
  • 1315-1317: Great Famine
  • 1340-1400: Black Death
  • History of other continents?

Modern Age

Early Modern Age

This age lasts approximately from 1500-1800. <imgur thumb="yes" w="250" comment="One of the first complete maps of Eurth.">YOZthJf.jpg</imgur>

  • 1522: War of the Two kingdoms ends in PyeMcGowan
  • 1300-1870: Little Ice Age
  • 1400-1550: Age of Discovery (or is it re-discovery?)
  • 1550-1850: Age of Sail
  • 1300-1600: Renaissance
  • Expansion
  • Colonialism

Late Modern Age

This age lasts approximately from 1750-1900.

  • 1750-1850: Political Revolutions
  • 1760-1830: First industrial revolution including textile, steam, iron, mining, gas
  • 1816: Great Famine
  • 1850-1900: Second industrial revolution including steel, chemical, automobile, petroleum, rubber
  • 1867-1883: Wars of Liberation in Girkmand

20th Century

  • 1910: Economic crisis
  • 1915: Pseudo-Spanish Flu
  • 1927: Economic crisis
  • 1932-1956: The Long War or 'War of Imperialist Aggression'. The Long War was an ideological conflict in Ide Jima. The incumbent Imperialist dynasties were threatened by revolutionary communists. Tensions boiled over when a number of protesters were fired upon and killed during a workers protest at the then Imperial palace in the nation's capital. The conflict first began with many nations taking sides and sending support to one of the two main sides, Imperialists and Communists. The conflict then escalated into a total war akin to a World War. The conflict lasted from the 1930s into the 1950s, hence the name The Long War. The eventual outcome was a communist victory.
