"Growf!"

LOL, I had considered England, but if I had gone there I would have used a very different character - one NOT based on me, but still very, very detailed.
Dang. I'm not sure if I'm rushing things, but do you think that I should go ahead and start the IC or should we wait for others to get done with their CS?ShinGeorgeTownRaja LOL, no worries about the height / weight thing. I just happened to notice it. And there is a reason I always list Height on my Blank CS forms ... and Build or some such rather than weight.

As much as I want to get started, I would give them a little more time. No reason we can't start writing up our initial posts offline. It isn't as though we are starting out together. I hope some saw the links I posted. Good stuff that describes current development as of 5000 BCE. I even managed to find some material that describes the actual size of the "cities" in my area. (about 200x250 ... I need to go back and check if that was feet or meters. I believe it was metric as it was a scientific abstract with technical jargon that made even MY head hurt.)Dang.

That's reasonable. We definitely need a blank map of the world, that's for sure. I remember it being one on the NationStates forum where there used to be a blank world map in the New Civilizations RP but it was different than the current one that they're using there. I just need to search for it! It won't take long, hopefully.As much as I want to get started, I would give them a little more time. No reason we can't start writing up our initial posts offline.

Tools around 5,000 BC

Thought this might help. (Though I see stuff about god Kings and wonder if a little fiction is mixed in ...)
It’s pretty much on point for my area. Been doing a lot of research. Actual field studies at new digs.poking around on this site and i wouldn't rely on it as a source; their source page is full of hot bullshit/ancient aliens garbage. honestly the wikipedia neolithic page is a really good starting point, and should be able to direct folks to more specific sources for their regions
They really think aliens exists, huh? lolpoking around on this site and i wouldn't rely on it as a source; their source page is full of hot bullshit/ancient aliens garbage. honestly the wikipedia neolithic page is a really good starting point, and should be able to direct folks to more specific sources for their regions

Wow, is that so? How very grim...unfortunately it is a prevalent conspiracy theory that floats around in a lot of history/occult spaces. it has a really rank racist and antisemetic core when you dig deep enough, and i don't like to touch it
Oh yeah, speaking of this, you're American, right? lolShinGeorgeTownRaja LOL, no worries about the height / weight thing. I just happened to notice it. And there is a reason I always list Height on my Blank CS forms ... and Build or some such rather than weight.

Yep ... more or less. The other character I had in mind was also American.Oh yeah, speaking of this, you're American, right? lol
Yep ... I found the stuff on Gobe whatever via another search. I was tracing the history of domestication in my area ... and the invention of the wheel. (I wanted to see what a small group my character encounters would have. IE Ox? Cart? Sledge, etc ... Ugh .... Let's say the answer wasn't as good as I would like. But I did run across some other info that was interesting. I am still trying to decide if they will think my character is a god, demigod, shaytan, djinn, etc ... IE, do they worship him, kill him, or flee?poking around on this site and i wouldn't rely on it as a source; their source page is full of hot bullshit/ancient aliens garbage. honestly the wikipedia neolithic page is a really good starting point, and should be able to direct folks to more specific sources for their regions

What do you mean by that?question, if i were to claim a very secluded place. somewhere in S.E.A where there's little record of history before the 4th century. could i just use whatever's relevant to other places and used any existing records to cross reference the discoveries in that time?

indonesia I think?If you mean SE Asia ...
where did you have in mind?
Exactly where I expected. I happened to have researched the history of this area for a character I created from there. (She was a genetic throwback to the "hobbits" of that area.)indonesia I think?
