Editing this page and map
[edit]Suggestions before editing this map: Be sure to confirm it with multiple sources, and that it would be considered a true civilization. Also if you add to the map please name the layers and objects to keep it organized. A lot of the civilizations on this page do not have the times they existed. If this could be added it would be very beneficial. Then the map could be easily split into eras.
