I need a general timeline of mythology - which mythology came first?

Question

Such as Egyptian before Greek, which was before Roman..

Where did Celtic or Welsh fit in? And Norse?

Just a list of the order would be great.
I can't find this anywhere.

Thanks much. : )

Answer 1

the earliest civilizations seemed to have started in north africa, so perhaps egypt was first - every civilization had its myth, so without referring to a specific myth, it's hard to pinpoint its earliest beginning

Answer 2

Timeline Of Mythology

Answer 3

There's quite a lot of overlap there. Since Egypt, Greece and Rome had written histories, you can, indeed put them in some kind of order. But keep in mind that, for instance, Egyptian religion (and thus mythology) was changing all the way through the rise & fall of Rome. So there was a lot of overlap.

How old the Celtic or Norse or Welsh cultures existed is debateable, and how much thier mythologies changed over time, virtually unknowable.

Answer 4

Seeing as fortune cookies (and the associated fortune - the important part) are largely devoid of water (and other microwave absorbing materials), I doubt there would be much risk to the fabric of space-time. Of course, one could argue that until you open the cookie, it's not really *your* fortune. On the other hand, there is the distinct possibility that at some point in the future, where you to fall in love or perhaps seize on a business opportunity, you would promptly be blasted with a high-intensity beam of microwaves of indistinct origin.
