[edit] Events

• 4000-2800 BCE: Thanatoic and Ecstatic cults arise in India. The Akashic Brotherhood takes form in China and Tibet. Babylonian priest-scientists discover principles of geometry and astronomy, harnessing the power of mathematics and the heavens to the human will. Druidic priests and practitioners of magic raise Stonehenge in accordance with the movements of celestial bodies.^[1]
• 3100 BCE-2890 BCE: Egypt has Menes Dynasty Crocodilopolis founded. Mokole exist openly with humans, and are worshipped by the Hem-ka-Sobk. They are allied with Bubasti and Silent Striders. Elder Mokole are mummified by the Hem-ka-Sobk, and remain asleep to this day in Egypt..^[2]
• According to Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebook, roughly 3000 BCE is one of two possible times for the beginning of the Impergium; pages 14 and 200 describe it as being 3000 years long, but page 29 describes it as being 1000 years long, and that the Concord (which ended the Impergium) was reached around 2000 BCE. Therefore, the other potential time period for the Impergium to begin is around 5000 BCE – according to 1st Edition. Later editions of Werewolf will place the Impergium as beginning – and ending – far earlier than 1st Edition does.^[3][4][5]
• According to some Ratkin, 3000 BCE is the rough date at which the Garou reached the Concord, thus beginning the Age of Man.^[6]

• In the second half of this millennium, several cultures begin useing tokens imprinted into clay for business transactions. The symbols were mostly pictographic so users of any language could understand. As the markings became more common, and as curved lines were hard to draw in clay, the lines became straighter and more abstract. Eventually, the first form of writing evolved.^[7]
• The first human settlements typified as "urban life" begin around this time.^[8]
