History of the Great Land of Ethan Smith

Early History of the Great Land of Ethan Smith

The first people of the Great Land of Ethan Smith were from around the Early Bronze Age or around 2000 B.C. Archaeologists found that the earliest people were an agricultural society with some signs of metalworking with tin and copper. Bronze vessels used for rituals, farming instruments, and weapons were uncovered in recent archaeological digs. The famous Cornith Carvings in the Cornith Caves at the foothills of the Greater Chomla Mountains showed that these early people had their own writing. It still remains undeciphered to this day. Villages along the eastern coast of the Gulf of Magalenia near the town of Najamash, dating back to 1500 B.C., show evidence of early trading of bronze items with other early civilizations of the time.

Settlements from about 3000 years ago along the Aorata River and the Long River were heavily defended forts atop the rolling hills of the southern part of the nation. Each one had kings that ruled the walled part of the city along with the surrounding landscape. There were many coups and overturning of the leaders back then causing much turmoil for centuries. Around the 1st century B.C., the Chells people sprung up and annihilated the neighboring states eventually absorbing every other state in the vicinity. Wangi, the king at the time, managed to unite the Great Land of Ethan Smith. He installed a centralized government, a single currency, and a standardized measurement system. Most importantly, he unified the language to create a standard language for easier business and education. Although he brought along concepts that still are in effect of today's nation, he also brought many negative points. He ordered all he books that opposed his ideas to be burned. All the scholars that disagreed with his style of government were buried alive. Sixteen years after he became the ruler of a united Ethan Smith, Wangi died of mercury poisoning. This put the Great Land of Ethan Smith back into chaos for another century.
