2800 The first Egyptian pyramids built (there is much evidence that the pyramids came to Egypt from further south in Africa, rather being an Egyptian "invention"; but it is also significant that the earliest "known" pyramid is in Brazil, dating around 3000 BCE; the earliest in Egypt was the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, built for King Zoser in 2750 BC; and the model for that was further south, in "Greater Mali", the land of the "mythical" but actually very real Timbuktu; so the Africans must have been sailing to South America, and/or the South Americans to Africa, very early in our history! Ah, but we are so Euro-Centric in our view of History!).
2200 Beney Chet (Hittite) empire, based in Anatolia, but spread as far west as Cheret (Crete) and Kaprisin (Cyprus), south into Kena'an (Canaan) and Mitsrayim (Egypt), and east as far as the Indus Valley. When William Jones believed he had discerned a "common source", but couldn't name it, the word he was missing was "Hittite", and the mistake he was making was to look only at the language, where the broader cultures are far more revealing.
