Re: On creating a timeline

Three pages ago, when I first posted this thread I had just finished my world map, which was about seven days in the making. Thus was completed my first week of conworlding. This was a month ago. Thanks to the creative ideas and constructive feedback I got from this thread, I now have a clear idea of how I am going to tackle the project. At this point the problem which necessitated this thread has been overcome. However, rather than create a new thread for each situation that arises during the ordeal, I will confine my work to this thread.
I have been focusing on culture from a people who existed 150,000 years ago. This is ridiculous. There is no way of knowing anything about a people who lived that long ago except for archaeological findings. Cultures will be covered more thoroughly as they approach the present, because more knowledge of them would be likely to exist. With the advent of writing in about 130,000 years, my workload will grow exponentially!
I've got a lot of buns in the oven with this project at the moment; I'll post them as they become thoroughly cooked. Probably an update on progress every 10,000 years or so, with questions posted in between.
I have started this. It's a slower process than I anticipated, however. It'll be pretty cool when it's done. I need to buy some paint and miniature vegetation from hobby lobby though.earlier, I wrote:three-dimensional map made of paper mâché
