Timeline (No Supernatural Intervention)

This article is meant to be a chronilogical listing of events dated according to the assumptions of the time line. To avoid argument, and in spirit of the theme, the dividing point of the timeline is the Great Flood (in OTL an act of judgment, but in this time line the consequence of man's actions alone).

The characters of the ancient mideast are taken from the Biblical record, but their nature may be changed due to no interaction with the Divine. There are "good guys" and "bad guys," but no knowledge of what difference that might make in the long run. The abreviations for this timeline are BF ("Before the Flood") and AF ("After the Flood.") At times common dating from OTL will be used for reference.
