Archaeologists have wondered for years how Neanderthals were able to take on so many Homo Sapien characteristics shortly before the last glacial maximum, but there has recently been a great find in Caanan, in an obscure cave there were excellently preserved aurochs bone carvings; these carvings depict a story made of pictures, the biography of a Neanderthal named Sun Follower.
For many years the three great tribes of the south had been in constant feud, but as the forests slowly dwindled and hunting became difficult, the elders of the tribes realized that the only way to survive was to work together. They chose a young man with great dreams to lead them to the west, following the disc of the sun as it dwindled into night. In the prime of his reign, Sun Follower came across a new conflict, the cloven hoof. They were thin men with dark skin and arched feet; they hunted with their women by running with the herds, but this ran them out of the territory of the solid foot. Many wanted war, but Sun Follower chose peace. The cloven hoof would chase animals into the traps of the solid foot, and eventually become the fourth great tribe. The Cloven and Solid took each other as husbands and wives, and eventually became one people, the running was then done by those who ran like Cloven, and the trap setting by those who ambushed like the Solid. Prosperity had at last come, and this was a sign that they had followed the sun far enough.
The area nearby the cave became home of the most powerful tribe of Caanan, and eventually began the empire of Caanan, these bone tablets are thought by many to be the first origins of sun worship in Caanan, one of the first monotheistic cultures.
