A good way to summarize the paper by Snelling and Matthews is by presenting the timeline given in the article and accompanying poster: AiG Ice Age Timeline. 1  2350 B.C.âNoahs flood. 2  2350 to 2250 B.C.âAntarctica becomes covered by forests, then gets covered by its ice cap.  2250 to 2000 B.C.âIce age on the rest of Earth.
View full size image. The Pleistocene Epoch is typically defined as the time period that began about 1.8 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago. The most recent Ice Age occurred then, as glaciers covered huge parts of the planet Earth.There have been at least five documented major ice ages during the 4.6 billion years since the Earth was formed â and most likely many more before humans came on the scene about 2.3 million years ago.he most recent Ice Age occurred then, as glaciers covered huge parts of the planet Earth.
