The theme of the History of Aliens program was to present evidence of Aliens on Earth.
My interest was in the 10 to 15,000 years ago period, because that time period was omitted from my history books, years ago, when I went to school.
"15,000–14,700 years ago (13,000 BC to 12,700 BC): Earliest supposed date for the domestication of the pig.
14,800 years ago: The Humid Period begins in North Africa. The region that would later become the Sahara is wet and fertile, and the aquifers are full.[29]
13,000–10,000 years ago: Late Glacial Maximum, end of the Last glacial period, climate warms, glaciers recede.
13,000 years ago (11,000 BC): A major outbreak occurs on Lake Agassiz, which at the time could have been the size of the current Black Sea and the largest lake on Earth. Much of the lake is drained in the Arctic Ocean through the Mackenzie River.
13,000–11,000 years ago (11,000 BC to 9,000 BC): Earliest dates suggested for the domestication of the sheep.
12,000 years ago: Jericho has evidence of settlement dating back to 10,000 BC. Jericho was a popular camping ground for Natufian hunter-gatherer groups, who left a scattering of crescent microlith tools behind them.[30]
12,000 years ago (10,000 BC): Earliest dates suggested for the domestication of the goat.
12,000 years ago (10,000 BC): Land ice leaves Denmark and southern Sweden; start of the current Holocene epoch.
11,000 years ago (9,000 BC): Earliest date recorded for construction of temenoi ceremonial structures at Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey, as possibly the oldest surviving proto-religious site on Earth.[31]
11,000 years ago (9,000 BC): Emergence of Jericho, which is now one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Giant short-faced bears and giant ground sloths go extinct. Equidae goes extinct in North America.
10,500 years ago (8,500 BC): Earliest supposed date for the domestication of cattle.
10,000 years ago (8,000 BC): The Quaternary extinction event, which has been ongoing since the mid-Pleistocene, concludes. Many of the ice age megafauna go extinct, including the megatherium, woolly rhinoceros, Irish elk, cave bear, cave lion, and the last of the sabre-toothed cats. The mammoth goes extinct in Eurasia and North America, but is preserved in small island populations until ~1650 BC.
Neolithic[edit]
Main articles: Neolithic and Neolithic Revolution
11,000 – 9,000 years ago: Byblos appears to have been settled during the PPNB period, approximately 8800 to 7000 BC. Neolithic remains of some buildings can be observed at the site.[32][33]
10,000 – 8,000 years ago (8000 BC to 6000 BC): The post-glacial sea level rise decelerates, slowing the submersion of landmasses that had taken place over the previous 10,000 years.
10,000 – 9000 years ago (8000 BC to 7000 BC): In northern Mesopotamia, now northern Iraq, cultivation of barley and wheat begins. At first they are used for beer, gruel, and soup, eventually for bread.[34] In early agriculture at this time, the planting stick is used, but it is replaced by a primitive plow in subsequent centuries.[35] Around this time, a round stone tower, now preserved to about 8.5 meters high and 8.5 meters in diameter is built in Jericho.[36]
9,500–5,900 years ago: Neolithic Subpluvial in North Africa. The Sahara desert region supports a savanna-like environment. Lake Chad is larger than the current Caspian Sea. An African culture develops across the current Sahel region.

"Jericho is considered one of the oldest cities in the world. It was a mighty fenced city in the midst of a vast grove of palm trees, in the plain of Jordan, six miles north of the Dead Sea. Jericho is also known as "The Date City" or "The City of Palm Trees" because no matter whether you walk or drive through the desert, you inevitably come across its beautiful fertile green oasis and wonderful fragrance...
"Jericho is thought to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, dating back nearly 10,000 years. Located beyond the northern portion of the Dead Sea (one of the lowest place on Earth), Jericho is also about the lowest city on earth. It is nearly 800 feet below sea level. The mountains between Jericho and Jerusalem, capture water far above Jericho, and then carry the water through an underground spring called the 'Ein es-Sultan or Elisha's Fountain. The fresh water then spews out in this desert oasis and is used for irrigation. Even though the surrounding plains are nearly waste and desolate, the abundance of fresh water from this spring, makes the soil of Jericho unsurpassed in fertility. The city was celebrated for the numerous palm trees that adorned its landscapes. All these factors made Jericho a rich and flourishing town having considerable trade."
