Vaalmiki wrote the great epic Ramayana.
There was a long period of oral tradition before the Ramayana was actually written, and the original strand of the story drew upon various pre-existing folk tales about Rama. Like many other classical poems written in ancient times, the exact date and time of the genesis of Ramayana is yet to be determined accurately. The reference to the Greeks, Parthians, and Sakas shows that the time of composition of Ramayana cannot be earlier than the second century BC. But the consensus is that Ramayana was written between the 4th and the 2nd centuries BC with augmentations up to about 300 CE. Linguistically and philosophically, a period just after the Vedic age, would most suit the content of the epic.
The Great epic Ramayana itself points out certain celestial occurrences during the period of Rama, about which period it was cited to be created. Going by these facts, Ramayana seems to have been created about 3000 BCE or before.
According to A.L.Basham, it is 8th or the 7th century BC.

The place in Ramayana is Ayodhya. The time is Satyuga.
Ramayana and Mahabharata are the true essence of Hinduism. Some speculate that these to epics are myth. The main reason is that these two events took place so deep in the time line of history that modern historian, basically westerners, find it hard to believe. Some of the recent discoveries that proves Ramayana and Mahabharata took place is the discovery of the legend city of Dwarka where Lord Krishna lived and the discovery of bridge that connects India and Sir Lanka that was build during the time of Ramayana.
