In the beginning, Jewish people thought they saw a God created the universe in seven days, with 6 days of actual work and 1 more day for rest. God created the universe with materials that we see on Earth: light the first day. In subsequent days, he separated heaven and earth, gathered water, created animal, etc. Finally, God created human out of earth/dirt.

Chinese believed they saw this gigantic big guy named 盘古 who used a big axe to split a thing called "chaos" into two halves, namely heaven and earth. When 盘古died, his body parts, such as bones, blood and hair became mountains, rivers, vegetation on the planet that human lives on. A while later, a women named 女娲 made people with earth/dirt, at least Eastern and Western legends agreed on using the same material to build the first human. That was about the the only point Eastern and Western human origin stories met in the early days. Then different peoples look at the stories of creation from the other groups in disbelief, and some times even laughed at one another.

Somewhere many light-years away, an observer would be able to see a lot of flood and natural disasters pounding on the planet Earth while Westerners and Easterners worked hard on recording their accounts of these disasters. Recording something was not easy in primitive media such as stone, wood, bamboo, animal skins they had learned to use. One alternative was to remember firmly in mind and then tell the off-springs by word of mouth.

When the entire earth population was said to be around 50 millions, and economist were still saying the resources on Earth were scarce, it looks like civilizations mostly were growing along different major rivers. Along the Euphrates and Tigris, there were the Babylonians; along the Yellow and the Long Rivers, there were Chinese; Through out Hindu civilizations major cities also dotted along rivers; Along the river Niles, there were the Egyptians; along other rivers there were probably more peoples, but not everybody had learned how to record their deeds.

For the recorded events, records were not written in the same way as modern articles therefore not well understood and often disputed. Westerners often dispute whether 黄帝, 炎帝, 蚩尤 ever existed, because even Chinese archaeologists could not tell precisely what actually happened. Then China entered into the period of 尧舜禹 after the period of 三皇五帝. Power transfers at that time were through the process of 禅让 or 任人唯贤 instead of 任人唯亲, a sort of like how things were conducted later in Rome, like the period of "5 good emperors".

Although there must have been fair amount of activities in the areas on the African continent, at least being where Egypt resides in, recorded history of Africa turned out to be not well stocked in world libraries, largely because too many European historical records tend to crowd out the African ones. Pharaoh was often described in first person grammar to be a very powerful guy that could single handily kill tens of thousands of invaders without losing a single drop of blood and probably invented writing too. In Europe, some other events were recorded, but people could not agree on what actually happened or not happened, observing from afar in the stretch of imagination.

Ancient European seemed to be most active, near the area where the continent meets Asia and Africa - or where the worlds met. But why the area had such division of the names for the continents was a strange phenomenon by itself. Strange events included collapse of the bronze age, disappearance of Atlantis, or half mythical God plus human stories such as Iliad and Odyssey all spanned across continents one way or the other. Some of the well documented events actually happened in the Asian part of the Eurasia in places such as Asian Minor, Babylon, Persia or on African continent such as Egypt. But as European later became powerful and started to focus spotlights of glories and achievements on themselves, European teaching and Bible teaching seemed to have all forgotten about the idea that all the humanity on Earth appeared to have originated from somewhere in Africa, and skin of Jesus could have been very dark-colored.

The effects of the legacies left by Iliad and Odyssey were long lasting in European history. The victors of the Trojan War generated two heroic figures: Odysseus for seeking knowledge and Achilles for choosing glory over death (as in Chinese 不做寻常床箦死，英雄含笑上刑场). The defeated party of the Trojan did not vanish from history as total losers either. Part of the defeated army happened to bring their offspring to settled in the area later called Rome, Italy. With help of a certain mythical "female wolf", some said could be the nickname of a poor women, a set of twin raised by the female wolf started the clans of Romans and later Britons, and later American etc. with traceable cultural heritage among all Latin-related language speaking people several thousand light-years apart.

The Odyssey story also had other long lasting effects, such as a child searching for his father in this world. This complex was heavily reflected in the father-searching mentality in European religions. The quest for knowledge described in Odyssey also was reflected in many years of study in theology and science by Europeans during and after the dark ages of Medieval.

Cross the Indian Sea, Ural Mountain or even Himalaya, what was later called Mount Everest, other sides of the earth had other civilizations evolving such as those of India and China. While accuracies of the legends and mysteries of their ancestors were disputed, there came a moment after which stories of peoples and nations were actually written down. From that moment onward events and people happened were less foggy and less uncertain, but there was only one problem. People were always able to write history as "a set of lies agreed upon". On the other hand, lying is absolutely necessary for the survival of human specie, according to a much later novel Neanderthal. Man can not out-jump fleas, out-hoist ants, out-run cheetahs, or out-communicate Neanderthal with skills of telepathy. Without the ability of deception, human wouldn't have survived out of the primitive harsh environment.

Easily decipherable writings roughly started in West and East when the world population was approaching 50 millions, when Moses led Israelis out of Egypt and when 商 was established in China. 商was later replaced by 周 when words, patterns and pictures left on potteries and containers were replaced by words carved and colored into bamboos, colored on animal skins. In Babylon, lots of scribes were left.

At the end of 商 dynasty, Chinese language started to mature and became easily recognizable by later generations. The following words and phrases emerged and spanned across the distance (or time) of several thousand light-years:

姜太公钓鱼远者上钩，助纣为虐，哪吒闹海

End of 周 in China also saw some later famous people such as Confucius (孔子) joined into the action of recording history. He wrote a book called "春秋" which became the name of one period. The name of another period was 战国. Together, the name of these two period could be translated literally as "Spring Autumn" and "Waring States".
