Tolkien Timeline - Book of Lost Tales, latter writings, without 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 one of them 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
