The last 1000 years of this period (4200 BC to 3100 BC) was remembered as the "Age of the Gods" and subsequent human history has been a singular effort to regain the Paradise of that time.
In 3100 BC this configuration broke apart, with the large planets moving far away from the Sun, and the smaller planets assigned to a series of nearly overlapping 'inner' orbits.

Between 1991-1994 we undertook a systematic excavation in the SE part of the cave, which revealed in four trenches undisturbed levels of occupation from the Upper Palaeolithic to Middle Helladic (1600 BC).
The earliest phase of neolithic occupation should be roughly put in the second half of the 7th millennium BC (Early Neolithic).
The last neolithic phase (Late Neolithic Il, 4200-3300 BC) is well represented in Sarakenos, especially its late part which is not frequent in caves.

 Saturnian Cosmology - Creation and the Polar Sun
Starting some time after 6000 BC, and possibly after 4200 BC (at about the same time that the figurines start to stretch out their arms), we start to see an entirely new set of rock carvings.
In the Upper Paleolithic (27,000 BC to 10,000 BC) this was the head of the Venus figurines, initially close to Saturn, but receding from Saturn between 6000 and 4000 BC.
In the era after 3100 BC we are dealing with attempts to graphically depict many differing recollections, all of which were true at one time or another and had become fixed in the imagination as particular objects, even though the original forms may have changed in appearance over time.

 THE TALL-e BAKUN PROJECT
5000-4200 BC) was first excavated by Alexander Langsdorff and Donald McCown in 1932, and later in 1937 by Eric Schmidt and McCown on behalf of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.
The wealth and variety of material items at Bakun and the evidence of large workshop areas point to the existence of local industry and connections/trade with distant regions such as the Persian Gulf, the central plateau, Kerman, and northeastern Iran whence goods like shells, copper, steatite, lapis, and turquoise were procured.
Reanalysis of the combined results of the 1932 and 1937 seasons (Alizadeh 1988) demonstrated that Bakun A was a late prehistoric example of the precursors of the later fourth millennium BC urban societies.

 The Star Sothis and Egyptian Chronology
The dates in the twenty-third century BC - attributed to Hammurabi by the earlier historians - have had to be periodically adjusted as a result of new archaeological finds; first to c.2100 BC, and more lately to c.1700 BC, with differences of opinion still amounting to nearly a century.
And since from his general estimation he believed that the date of 2781 BC was an impossibly late one for the commencement of this sequence of eleven dynasties, Meyer concluded that the Egyptian calendar must have been inaugurated in a presumed earlier Sothic period commencing at 4240 BC.
Parker, in regard to Neugebauer's revised calculation of 2800 BC for the beginning of Egyptian civilisation, could agree that Egypt by then was unquestionably in possession of a well organised economic life, as well as writing and mathematics; these being Neugebauer's conditions 'sine qua non' for the creation of a schematic calendar (16).
