It was described somewhat in antiquity including the 5th Millennium BC, the 4th millennium BC, the 3rd millennium BC, the 2nd millennium BC, and the early first millennium BC. It was better described in classical and medieval times. In early classical times it flourished and was recorded somewhat. In later classical times it began to be replaced by Christianity. In early medieval times, this process continued, and by late medieval times, there were only small remenants of it.
