History of Gherensi Caliphate

Tribal Era 15561 BC - 12384 BC
During 1500 BC, a berber tribe called the Beni Salom (BS) where thriving in the Sahara Desert living of the land. BS where very succesfull and managed to outlast many other tribes. Despite, this, BS was very weak compared to the short living tribes that surrounded BS and the chance of being wiped out was very high. At 5:23 PM on 2 December 12384 BC, a hunter gatherer called Air Medittareanium spotted a large force of a rival tribe heading towards BS. After being notified about this threat, the tribe's chief ordered that the next day a massive migration will take place to the south towards modern day Nigeria.

The Great Migration 12384 BC - 12377 BC
In the mist of the night BS was ambushed by the attackers causing mass panic among the tribe. Many men immediatly fought the attackers giving the women, children and others the chance to escape. However, due to the panic, the tribe moved north instead of south. Of the 127 people who lived in the tribe, only 62 survived the attack and migration. The tribe carried on with their migration north settling down in several areas. Few months in, few people reaised they had went the wrong way. Many of the tribesmen didn't nknow what was inthe north so they broke of and travelled south. Unfortunately for them, they where all killed on their journey. After 7 years the tribe reached irl Algeirs. Due to the land, the tribes men where ableto grow crops and grow crops they did. The first city in the world was then founded in the year 12377 BC. This city was called Beni Salom after the tribe. The Medittareanian Sea was namedafter the tribe's savior Air Medittarianium.

The 6 day Civil War
After settling down, the city's dictator demanded Medittareanium's execution as he was worried that he will revolt against the government due to his popularity. As this news leaked into the streets, half of the population revolted, In 6 days the rebels won executing the dictator and establishing Medittareanium as the new dictator. To remove traces of the old government, Beni Salom was renamed to Medittarean (The main district though was called Beni Salom to preserve the people's tribal history). The people saw Medittareanium as a godly figure and started worshipping him after his death. The religion was called Medittareanism and was very similiar to modern day Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

The Migrant Crisis 5527 BC - 5509 BC
As the Black Sea Region floods, some refugees hear about a rumored Godly nation called Medittariania. Some refugees make it to Medittariania. At first the refugees where pushed out with some of the refugees settling down few kilometres away from Medittarean. After hundreds of years these two cities merged like Buda and Pest in Hungary. However, few refugees travelled back to the Middle East spreading news about this 'Mythical nation'. Soon many migrants travelled on what is called the 'Mythic Route'. Medittareanian citizens fought with the migrants but soon knowing that there was no point fighting gave up and let the migrants stay. This lead to major growth with many towns popping up. Medittareania soon became highly diverse leading to advancements in science, culture and thinking. Many historians today argue that it would have taken Medittareania longer to develop if the migrant crisis never happened.

Colonial Expansions 4503 BC - 4219 BC
As the Sahara Desert became a lush land with fertile land, many important and powerful figures left Medittareania to found colonies in the Sahara. These colonies provided Medittareania with many produts and large amounts of wealth. Poor farmers and slaves escaped to the colonies to set up their own. Before long half of the population had set up colonies. Many new animals such as elephants where taken to Medittareania where they where kept. However, this wasn't for ever. Soon the desert started claiming land and many colonies collapsed with rich men suddenly becoming some of the poorest in the nation. By 4219 BC, the last colony still around (Nova Medittariania) collapsed. Rulers in the colonies escaped to the north back to Medittareania bringing all their riches with them. The nation then fell into a 3 year depression.

Migration to Europe 4156 BC - 4095 BC
As life in Medittariania worsned, many citizens traveled to Sicily. From Sicily to moved through Italy spreading into North West Iberia, the Balkans and Germany.

In 4095 BC, the migration stopped and 2 years later, Medittareania stopped their occupation of South Italy and Sicily.

Sinking of Taracota 4106 BC

In 2008 a referendum was made on if the sunken city should be dug up from the marsh or should it be left sunk. The results where 50% 50% so the government had half of the city dug up whilst the other half was left sunken. Today Taracota is a major tourist site and vandalisim leads to a fine of $10,000.

Arrival of Numerals 3784 BC
In 3784 BC, a miner wanting to note down is gains in the mines, created a numeral system similair to the Ttally Table. As a member of the government asked what his lines where, the miner talked about his numeral system and what it was used for.
