Tolkien Timeline - Book of Lost Tales, latter writings, with Ing(wë)

This is a very sketchy Timeline. Suggestions are welcome.

This is the conclusion of the Book of the Lost Tales. Here I follow Christopher Tolkien's suggestion, and split the timeline in two: in this one there is a Man called Ing(wë), and the "historical" events come just after the trips of Eärendel, in the other there is no such character

This timeline is based on page 308s of Book of Lost Tales - Volume II . There are some inconsistencies with respect to Elwing, that I hope I may solve soon
