Time period covered by this entry?
Hi. I'm just checking the Wikipedia entries for "Prehistory" and it states that the Prehistoric period is generally regarded as ending as when a civilisation develops a system of writing. This would be about 3700BCE for the
Ancient Sumerians and about 3200 BCE for the Ancient Egyptians, for example.
The term "Classical Antiquity" gives a definition of a historical period " between the 8th century BC and the 5th or 6th century AD".
/info/en/?search=Classical_antiquity
However, one other entry for the term "Antiquity" gives this definition: "Ancient history, any historical period before the Middle Ages."
So a suggestion: would the other Wikipedia users be happy with using this category for writers who set their fictions in periods after the Sumerian discovery of writing, and before the fall of the Western Roman Empire?
I'm thinking of writers who set their fictions in Ancient Egypt (e.g.
Christian Jacq) or Ancient Israel (e.g. God Knows by
Joseph Heller) ? Or should we create another category for fiction set after the 3700 BCE period and before the 800 BCE period?
