Specifically, does it refer to the time span of 4,000 to 3,000 B.C.E. or to 3,000 to 2,000? Since dates between 4000 and 2000 are in profusion in the bulk of this mish-mash, I had to go to the end to see that at least one editor considers the 3rd Millinnium to consist of the 21st thru 30th Centuries B.C. Major failure to actually have a useful lede. <br/> Oh, if anybody is so inclined, the sentence:"The 3rd millennium BC spans the Early to Middle Bronze Age." is wrong. The Bronze Age spans the dates 3600-600 B.C. and in point of fact its a term for the dates that a particular civilization uses a particular set of technologies. That is: there IS no single Bronze Age, it is a term which must be relative to a particular civilization (location).<br/> Further:"It represents a period of time in which imperialism, or the desire to conquer, grew to prominence, in the city-states of the Middle East, but also throughout Eurasia." Should, imho, be deleted or possibly changed to:"It [what? the 3rd Millennium or the Bronze Age?] represents a period of time in which imperialism grew to prominence in the city-states of the Middle East, and also throughout Eurasia." The clause about the desire to conquer is rubbish, people haven't changed - the desire to control others isn't something that "rises to prominence", it is something which (due to economic, technical, or social factors) is ACTED on. I have also cleaned up the excessive use of commas and other errors in grammar.<br/> Finally, I note that this article is EXTREMELY Eurasian-centric. (As well as focusing almost exclusively on civilizations rather than climate and ecologies).<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.189.79.42" title="Special:Contributions/173.189.79.42">173.189.79.42</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:173.189.79.42&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:173.189.79.42 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:3rd_millennium_BC#c-173.189.79.42-2015-05-15T16:07:00.000Z-Wow._Is_this_confused." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:07, 15 May 2015 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-173.189.79.42-2015-05-15T16:07:00.000Z-Wow._Is_this_confused."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-05-15T16:07:00.000Z","author":"173.189.79.42","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-173.189.79.42-2015-05-15T16:07:00.000Z-Wow._Is_this_confused.","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-173.189.79.42-2015-05-15T16:07:00.000Z-Wow._Is_this_confused."></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-950CMR-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Ummm..-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z","replies":["c-950CMR-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z-Ummm..","c-950CMR-2021-03-10T16:01:00.000Z-Ummm..","c-950CMR-2021-03-10T16:06:00.000Z-Ummm.."],"text":"Ummm..","linkableTitle":"Ummm.."}--><h2 id="Ummm.." data-mw-thread-id="h-Ummm..-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Ummm..-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z"></span>Ummm..<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Ummm..-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:3rd_millennium_BC&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Ummm.."><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-950CMR-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Ummm..-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z","replies":["c-950CMR-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z-Ummm..","c-950CMR-2021-03-10T16:01:00.000Z-Ummm..","c-950CMR-2021-03-10T16:06:00.000Z-Ummm.."]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-950CMR-2021-03-10T16:06:00.000Z-Ummm..","timestamp":"2021-03-10T16:06:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__3__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-950CMR-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Ummm..-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z","replies":["c-950CMR-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z-Ummm..","c-950CMR-2021-03-10T16:01:00.000Z-Ummm..","c-950CMR-2021-03-10T16:06:00.000Z-Ummm.."],"text":"Ummm..","linkableTitle":"Ummm.."}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-950CMR-2021-03-10T15:57:00.000Z-Ummm.."></span>Didn't mahabharata believed to have happened in 30k bce or the Mahabharata is fictional?
