This is the majority of the History of How Astanastan ended up where it is today with a quick recap. Reading this is already too much effort so why take a class on it.
Astanastan
Ancient Periods 10000 BCE- 3180 BCE (12023 BCP- 5203 BCP)
Before the Modern Time Period Astanastan was the great Egyptian Empires that we all know of today. In the early 10000's People began to see the power in the sacred Birds as Birds knew when the seasons would change and started to guide the people. In around 6000-5300 BCE the Egyptians picked up on the Birds message to humans and eventually started to see them as more than just migrants, they were Gods. By the year 3180 the Humans were finally intelligent enough to comprehend some of the things Birds were trying to tell them and established Temples to praise the Devine beings.
Ancient Periods II 3180BCE- 30BCE (5203 BCP- 2053 BCP)
In After 3180 BCE the Egyptians began to build temples and properly praise sacred birds. Cults and religions were being built around Birds and Birds were especially happy because for over 7000 years Birds had been trying to communicate to Humans and now Humans were following what the Birds wanted however the Birds also believed Religion should become more of a policy. By the 1500's BCE Humans started creating the Justice around Birds that the Birds wanted but were still overly productive about it but the Birds decided to stay patient knowing Humans would eventually catch on. By the 26th Dynasty Humans continued Implementing require Bird worship and the Birds continued helping and aiding the Humans hoping they would find their way however as the Humans seemed like they were on the brink of finding the key to life and proper Bird worship they were invaded and the Bird culture was weakened. The Kingdoms of Egypt were invaded twice more and by 300 BCE the Dynasties had dissolved. The final nail in the coffin came after the 3rd invasion of Egypt by the Romans who weakened Bird Culture and 400 years later dissolved it entirely leaving a blank spot of hopeless void for humanity and the Birds.
Bir Tawil British Territory 1899-2000's (124 BPC- 20's BCP)
In 1899 the illegally productive British Imperials drew a line to divide present day Egypt and Sudan. Bir Tawil originally belonged to the Sudanese after the 1899 draw. However even though it requires effort the British redrew the lines in the early 1900's again this time giving Bir Tawil to Egypt and giving a bigger piece of Land to Sudan. Egypt did not like the new borders and continues to dispute the bigger plot of land to this day. However the smaller plot of land (Bir Tawil) Was chosen to become Astanastan.
Bir Tawil transformation into Astanastan 2020-2024 (3 BPC- 1 AC)
In and before 2020 the Great Heron Island which was the home of the Sacred Heron was controlled by the Sacred Birds and the Sacred Heron. However the Sacred Herons appearance on the Island decreased and by 2022 he only very rarely showed up. Also in 2022 a Country called Bisal took control of Heron Island and the Heron was allegedly never seen on the Island. However just 3 years later in late 2023 the nation of Bisal slowly dissolved until it ceased to exist. This created a gap in the Heron Island which would be refilled. In May of 2024 the Sacred King Heron reclaimed control of the Heron Island and began the prophecy of Astanastan. In July of 2024 a young Astani man named Caymen was walking through the desert when the Sacred Heron appeared before him. The Heron said that Caymen had been chosen to spread the message of Astanism by Reclaiming the Sacred Land of Bir Tawil that was once claimed by the predecessors of Astanastan all those years ago and establishing a religion where he would preach the message of the Birds. Caymen was the new hope and now that he knew the Birds true message the ones that the Astani Egyptian predacesors were looking for the Birds chance to become great again and reclaim the Holy land emerged. On July 12th of 2024 Caymen Established Astanastan and created a land where people can be as relaxed as they want and worship the Sacred Birds of the Earth finally bringing the message of the Birds to life.
Expansion and developement of Astanastan 2024-2025 (1-2 AC)
After the creation of Astanastan many people began flocking to this grand and supreme ideology. Caymen began to expand Astanastan and continued to allow his citizens to live in comfort. Caymen's Second in command Julet also assisted in the development of Astanastan. Astanastan expanded extremely rapidly starting with reclaiming Heron Island in September of 2024, Marie Bird Land in February of 2025, the Icelandic territories in October of 2025 and soon more Antarctic Territories as an expedition to place our flag on other Antarctic Territories and convince researchers to maintain it is IN THE WORKS. As well as our glorious expansion we have made many allies along the way including Aluntia, Royalia, Scholopia and Acadia.
