## Timeline

#### Prehistory

* -10000 humans of the proposed Proto-Equatorial family are nomadically roaming south of the Mazedian sea after the sinking of land bridges to Zointh.
* c. -6500 the Proto-Feshwan, Proto-Decadhach, and Proto-Peroatlan groups split into their various regions around this time, with Proto-Peroatlan and Siwesiwin Ethnic families moving eastward into the Peninsula. It's unclear if Siwesin peoples were already in the Peninsula and unrelated or another sibling family to Proto-Peroatlans. The prevailing theory is that they are related more closely to Proto Feshwan.
* -5000 agricultural societies begin to dot the coastlines and river valleys, with interior societies slowly moving from hunter-gatherer to subsistence tribal villages.
* -4500 One of the first city states founded around this time is Peroth, on the northern coast of the Peninsula. One of the first walled cities known.
* -4000 by this time, other city states of Peroatlan origin appear along the coast and major rivers in the north and south. Evidence of Dhecadhach artifacts as far as the Atlan Sea coast indicate extensive trade grew at this time.
* -4000 Siwesiwin peoples have spread throughout the interior of the peninsula, from the Suise Rainforest in the north across the Perocadh mountains and some of the upper Caratis Valley.
