History

The first evidence of society in what is today the land that occupies the territories of Bá'álaśaya goes back to thousands of years ago, when the ancient Bá'álic civilization of Vé'éleyiś arose from several cultures mingling into one: the Ĵircukala culture, the Śeembra culture and the Vá'áyá culture.
