In retrospect, what begins to emerge from pp28-29** is a 4096 year period for general development (part of the 8192 year period from climatic change and the beginning of agriculture), which is also the major cycle for Ancient Egypt, whose dynastic periods fit this cycle with considerable regularity as 1/8th arcs of a cycle, appearing just before M~ which is approximately where one might expect political order to appear (C-M~).

At around the A~ point of this 4096 year cycle the other cultures appear: it would be neat if they appeared on the J~ side of the A~, rather than the U~ side, but there may be an oscillation effect (as for J[uglar] and K[ondratieff] economic cycles, etc.). They most noticeably appear very close in time to each other, with the probable exception of the Sumerians (and the possibility that I do not yet know enough earlier detail: I am relying solely on the outlines in the E[ncyclopaedia] B[ritannica] Propaedia, for this early analysis).
