Well, just trawling the various history/timeline threads we have here...and noticed a distinct lack of BC history, now I know to some it's a bit of a 'so what, modern history is more relevant' but well, in the case of my nation at least the majority of the history is BC...very early BC at that.
So.
What I am proposing is a list of sorts, right here in the one thread, listing major BC events and history.
Things like was your country actually the same country it was (highly unlikely) back in the day or was it some sort of other empire/tribal kingship/plain ol' mess of scattered people. Did you have any great and bloody wars back then? (as most BC wars were bloody) Did your area invent the wheel? (or some other major thing) Did you get wiped out by some sort of disease/major event? (so...the area could be a different demographic because of this, like if you were say...a greek demographic, and a volcano blew up and killed an entire island, but was re-settled by say...an african demographic, it would majorly impact on the demographics)
Submit in the following way:
100BC - 0AD:
[stuff here]
500BC - 101BC
1000BC - 501BC
2000BC - 1001BC
3000BC - 2001BC
(for good scaling, this is about when the Egyptian empire started up, so nothing incredibly powerful/technological past here)
5000BC - 3001BC
10000BC - 5001BC
20000BC - 10001BC
(I was thinking some sort of coming out of an ice age stuff here...so rising sea levels and warmer less polar climates...big changes)
30000BC - 20001BC
(some sort of ice age inducing stuff here...perhaps a super-volcano [think Yellowstone] or maybe the cheap option, meteor)
50000BC - 30001BC
50001BC and beyond.
So.

Submit in the following way:
so...for an example:
Current Ownership: (otherwise known as "your countries name here")
Timeframe: (there are a few to choose from, go find, be specific where you need to be)
Ownership at time: (so who owned the land/what it was called at the time...for instance, for my nation it would be the Angakilands, because no one owned it but it DID have a name)
Actual Location: (this can be a map, this can be just saying "where [certain country] is" this can be just naming the continent if it's significant enough)
What happened: (so...what happened in this time for you)
___________________
Current Ownership: Akemoor
Timeframe: around 4000BC
Ownership at time: Angakilands
Actual Location: Far Western Talagua (That weird area in between Euphemia and Itzamna)
What happened: All Angaki (Akemoori) peoples wiped out from Southern lands. Cause from a highly infectious disease coupled with severe weather conditions for this time period. This was a major hub for the Angaki peoples, this loss would result in a huge receding from the south into northern area's where the peoples were still strong and well. One of only two areas to have ancient Akemoori structures.
100BC - 0AD:
[stuff here]
500BC - 101BC
Current Ownership: Greater Morsco/Peilan
Timeframe: circa 500 B.C
Ownership at time: Rozhetea
Actual Location: Area of Peilan and Greater Morsco
What happened: Northern Escardeans(Anatheonians) settle in this area and conquer Rozhetean Civilisation currently there in devastating war.
1000BC - 501BC
Current Ownership: Greater Morsco/Peilan
Timeframe: circa 800 B.C
Ownership at time: Rozhetea
Actual Location: Area of Peilan and Greater Morsco
What happened: Nomadic Eastern Althenian tribes join and unite in Rozhetean civilisation.
Current Ownership: Posillipo/Polinesio
Timeframe: circa 600 B.C
Ownership at time: Escarda
Actual Location: Border area of Polinesio and Posillipo
What happened: Northern Escardeans leave Escarda and start to migrate to the east for new land to settle and occupy; they are now called Anatheonians.
