Hindu mythology has an ancient timeline.

From what I understand of the nominally Buddhist East of that time, Earth origin stories were not that important. In Japanese Shinto the creationism stories have an obvious mythic nature to them, intended to make the emperor look divine.

I don’t know enough about American natives myths to know if they had timelines.


As I understand it, Native American thought process doesn’t worry so much about time. I don’t think it gets more specific than “many moons ago” and ” many moons before that”. Which, I guess is a timeline in a sense.
