Here is a interesting history related forum game that I think was never done on this forum
This forum game is about recreating history through something called the domino effect (or something like that), this is the basic gist of how you will play the game:
Someone (aka me), will make a event set in a random date, a person would go a few years forward and make a event that is a direct or a indirect byproduct of the event above, then, another person go another few years forward and make a event that is a direct or indirect byproduct of the byproduct above, the cycle continue and continue and continue
Here is the starter event:
125,000 years ago: anatomically modern humans have discovered fire
You can only make two events, so any more than that is considered not canon, also, I can make other events every once in a while to make more byproducts and to make this recreated history more interesting
Hope you enjoy
(Also, this forum isn’t meant to be realistic history wise)

122,280 YA: after a warrior tribe that supports the priests attacks a village that does not for totally non-religious reasons (one of the non-priest villagers had made a your mama joke toward the chieftain of the tribe’s daughter so when it came time to forcibly acquire more supplies he knew where he was going.) This is taken as an act of religious conquest by those not involved.
122,275 YA: the Priestlands and the opposing Alliance of Proximity are formed as loose alliances. Those not affiliated with either are forced to flee downriver to the sea. (I’m assuming this is the fertile crescent so the sea is the medeterainian, and I think it makes for some good worldbuilding to have an offshoot civilization nearby.)
122 ,750 years ago:The first early modern humans arrive in what we now know as egypt

hey, you know the dates would be going down? or was this a retroactive thing?
anywho:
122,250 YA: the Egyptian humans form a diffuse agricultural society ,
122,002 YA: the Egyptians start selling copper to the priestlands and the alliance, in exchange they send incense (priestlands) and pottery wheels (alliance), a new invention. this signals the first metal tools.
