History of Human Civilization
Category: Other
Updated: 5 Jul 2023
This is a rough history of human migration, advancement, and civilization. Some early years or dates may be a little uncertain but as a whole it shows a good comparison of events showing how we got to where we are today.
As someone who believes what the Bible says is accurate, my timeline reflects that by showing Biblical events that others may not believe to have taken place.
