Husbandry becomes popular in the Pre-Proto-Namuno-Ethian area (Namun river). ~12 000 BNB Proto-Nademic thought to have last been spoken as a single language.
		Copper-bronze age Namuno-Ethian populations after the Copper-Bronze age invasion ~5000 BNB Copper mining begins around the Wharm. ~4600 BNB Likely origin of Proto-Namuno-Ethian language in Namunia. ~4500 BNB Bronze age begins, early bronze spearheads found in modern-day Hower. Probable rise of bronze-age Nademic Blueface culture around modern-day Blueface, Hower. Rise of bronze-age clunocentric Layered Glyphs culture in northern Phyrea. Advent of writing in northern Phyrea, Layered Glyphs origin. ~4000 BNB Rise of bronze-age Janda civilisation around Namun river, almost surely the people identified as the Proto-Namuno-Ethians. ~3600 BNB Namun culture develops long-distance sailing. ~3500 BNB Copper-Bronze Age Invasion: Proto-Namuno-Ethians invade Hearn and Phyrea, eventually displacing native tribes, mostly Nademic.
