History of the Worlde

According to the Mayans, there has been 4 previous civilisations on Earth, each one was desolated by Earthquakes, Volcano's Fire from space or space debris, Ice Ages.

 Modern history based on carbon dating


3.4 billion years ago,  gigantic meteorite, twice as big as the one which is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs, collided with Earth. 

There is growing geological evidence that our planet went into a big freeze at least twice during the late Proterozoic era, 600-800 million years ago, with the polar icecaps a kilometre deep extending to the equator.

Proterozoic era, 600-800 million years ago, with the polar icecaps a kilometre deep extending to the equator.

Cryogenian Period, a term given to a series of glaciations that covered most of our planet between 850-630 or 600 million years ago.


Sinian Period  560-575-million-year-old Ediacaran Organisms appear to be somewhat plant-like, with "frondlets" - leafy structures that branch from stems. "RangeoMorphs" are a single biological group, which can neither be classified as animals nor as plants. The organisms may have had an asexual, or vegetative, method of reproduction.

Ordovician extinction by Gamma radiation, (which occurred between 444-447 million years ago at the boundary between the Ordovician Period and the subsequent Silurian Period), killing 60% of marine invertebrates at a time when life was largely confined to the sea. "A gamma ray burst originating within 6,000 light-years from Earth would have a devastating effect on life.

Permian extinction event 1 A dramatic rise in carbon dioxide caused temperatures to soar to between 10 to 30 degrees C.  The warming had a profound impact on the oceans, cutting off oxygen to the lower depths and extinguishing most lifeforms.
 

NCAR in Boulder, Colorado, supports the view that extensive volcanic activity over the course of hundreds of thousands of years released large amounts of carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide into the air, gradually warming up the planet.

 Permian extinction event 2  A 480km-wide (300 miles) crater has been detected under the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The scientists behind the discovery say it could have been made by a massive meteorite strike 250 million years ago.

"This Wilkes Land impact is much bigger than the impact that killed the dinosaurs," 95% of all marine life and 70% of all land species disappeared.

Scientists have described a new primitive dinosaur species, Eocursor parvus, which lived in the Late Triassic Period - about 210 million years ago.

Unearthed in South Africa's Free State, the creature appears to have been a small, agile plant-eater.

The fossilised remains of a crocodile that ruled the oceans 140 million years ago have been discovered in Patagonia.

130 million-year-old Dromaeosaur specimen provides the best evidence yet that some dinosaurs developed primitive feathers - not for flight but probably to keep warm.

A 121-million-year-old baby arboreal bird, fossilised while still curled in its egg, has been found in China. The fossil is thought to be the most ancient unborn bird ever discovered. For something that has not yet hatched, it is almost fully formed," said Dr Milner. "All its bones are formed and its feathers are very well developed." Prococial birds - like chickens, ducks and ostriches - produce young which are immediately competent:

Fossil remains of a bird that lived 70 million years ago appear to belong to a relative of modern ducks and geese. 

Archaeologists are uncovering a huge prehistoric "lost country" hidden below the North Sea.  This lost landscape, where hunter-gatherer communities once lived on sweeping plains of grass, was swallowed by rising water levels at the end of the last ice age between around 10,500 to 7000 BC.

 
The popular period for the loss of Atlantis is 10,500 BC - a period that is precisely comparable to the time at which the waters of the Atlantic were drowning out the North Sea grasslands.]

Heidelbergensis New research shows early humans were living in Britain around 700,000 years ago, substantially earlier than had previously been thought. Using new dating techniques, scientists found that flint tools unearthed in Pakefield, Suffolk, were 200,000 years older than the previous oldest finds.

One of the team, Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum's Department of Palaeontology, said the discovery of evidence of early human activity in Britain was startling.

Sumerians 3200-2900 BC
The founders of Kish (modern Tall al-Uhaymir, 80km south of Baghdad) were Sumerians: non-Semitic black-haired people of an unknown origin. Their occupation of the site at Kish began in the Jemdet Nasr Period (3200-2900 BC), but this was ended by the archaeologically-attested flood of between 2900-2800BC

After the Flood
First Dynasty c.2900? - 2650? BC
Second Dynasty c.2550/2500 - 2430 BC
Third Dynasty c.2400 BC
Fourth Dynasty c.2360 - 2340 BC

Akkadian Empire c.2334 - 2279 BC won against Sumer Sargon I the Great Ruled for 56/55/54 years. Born c.2370. Sargon created an Akkadian empire which truly unified Sumer  and Akkad administratively for the first time ever. However, there were problems, not least because each of the former independent city states inside the empire resented the imposition of outside control, and revolts were common.

 Hurrians 2500-2000 BC

Hittite Kingdom around 1800 bme King Hattusili I

 Following the initial defeat of the Hatti, and a century of obscurity, the Hittites bounced back to quickly centralise power in Asia Minor and create a state of their own. They were culturally influenced by the Hurrians on their eastern border during this period, with several rulers bearing Hurrian names and Hurrian Vedic gods being worshipped (for instance at Yazilikaya). As in Egypt, their king was both the Supreme Judge and High Priest. Hattusili I founded a new capital at Hattousha (Hattusa - modern Boğazkale in Turkey), which would remain the centre of the empire until its fall. While the Hittites destroyed the Amorite Old Babylonian empire, they also absorbed much of Mesopotamian culture, and were later responsible for disseminating it throughout the eastern Mediterranean.
