I maintain my position that emotional response to events is what makes an artifact. The shifting of the continents is just too long of an event to ever be emotionally perceived by someone experiencing it first hand, especially considering it's still happening. The discovery of the plates, that's a different story, but the actual breaking apart of Pangea is as much of an event as the water cycle is.

The evolution of humanity to sentience, and especially the formation of the first single-celled organism, is also less of an event and more of a process that no one here could ever actually pin down a turning point for. There's no emotional connection to it either because it's just a state of being, not a moment.

An eclipse, on the other hand, has potential, as do the humanity suggestions.
