Evidence of Prehistoric Civilization in the Land (jan 1, 3000 BC – jan 1, 2000 BC)
Description:
(Start date is a rough estimate) This is not a set time, but evidence existed of civilization prior to the dawn of history in the studied land. Metallic objects from tombs such as spearheads, a battleaxe, and dagger blades were found which demonstrate culture which lived in the land before writing existed. Ancient archaeological mounds referred to as Tells also inform us about the period. Tells have layers, the bottommost of which are the oldest, and each layer informs historians and archaeologists of the customs and practices of the culture in the time period discussed.Added to timeline:
