It's estimated that the first settlements in the modern area of bulk were settled around 15,000 BCE. These settlements were primarily in the interior where the [[Great Kavir]] desert is today. Up until 5,000 years ago, the area was not so arid and the vegetation might have been closer to a {{wp|savanna}}. However, desertification set in around 3000 BCE, and the desert became much like it is today. This desertification pushed the people further south and north into the [[Sea of Kandahar]] basin and the Baqunah, and Mahagheh Mountains by 4500 BCE. The interior had become mostly uninhabited by 500 BCE, and the [[Sea of Kandahar]]'s and [[Aab-e-Farus]] coasts had become the primary areas of both settlement and cultivation of crops. There was still bands of nomads in the desert interior but not nearly to the same extent that there had been two or 3,000 years prior. These northern coastal settlements became more and more settled as the cultivation of rice and millet and the raising of goats and sheep in the tropical Umalian became more sustainable for the larger populations.

====Umaronid Empire====
The Umaronid Empire, a Bronze Age civilization that thrived in western [[Audonia]] from approximately 3300 to 1300 BCE, left an indelible mark on the region. Renowned for their meticulous urban planning, the Umaronids constructed sprawling cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, characterized by grid-like layouts, multi-story houses, and sophisticated drainage and water supply systems. This meticulous attention to detail extended to their economic practices, evident in their standardized weights and measures that facilitated trade and commerce across the empire.
The Umaronids demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship and technological ingenuity. Their mastery of metallurgy is evident in the production of bronze tools and weapons, while their artistry is showcased in intricate seals, pottery, and figurines. Notably, the empire developed a unique script, yet to be deciphered, which tantalizingly hints at a complex language and potentially rich literary traditions.
Despite its advancements, the Umaronid Empire eventually declined. While the precise reasons remain unclear, factors such as climate change, shifting river courses, and migrations likely played a role. Nevertheless, the legacy of the Umaronids endures, providing valuable insights into the social, economic, and cultural dynamics of early [[Audonia]]n civilizations. The empire's contributions to urban planning, metallurgy, and artistic expression continue to inspire and inform contemporary understanding of the region's history.
