Most people are interested in when the Genesis creation began, and there are various estimates around 4000 BCE, with the most famous estimate, by Bishop Ussher, at 4004 BCE.
Because the first creation story in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is not linked to any other passages in the Book of Genesis, it is timeless and could have taken place in any period of the past, but it clearly states that the whole of God's creation took six days.
Conversely, the second creation story in Genesis 2:4b-25 was not limited to just six days, so could have taken as long as God chose. It is linked through Adam's descendants down to historical times, which is how theologians have been able to create a timeline for creation.
The Book of Genesis ends with the death of the legendary Joseph, somewhere around 2,200 years after the creation of Adam in the second creation story - around 1800 BCE, although estimates vary.
There's about 38,000 words there, depending on the version.
Some scholars believe the book of Job to be written before Genesis. However, if speaking about the time of the events then Genesis comes first. Well, actually, the intro in John would come first then Genesis. Go see the book of John for yourself to see what I'm talking about.
The last word in the book of Genesis is "coffin."

The city of Babel was in the book of Genesis and still exists to this day. It is now known as the city of Babylon.
Prophecy is scattered through out the bible so the time period would be from the time Genesis was written (1445 B.C./1405 B.C. to the time of the Book of Revelation (94/96 A.D.)
The entire book of Genesis is believed to have been written by Moses. This does not mean that the stories therein originated with Moses. If they really happened, as I believe they did, then they obviously originated at the time of their occurence. Genesis covers the time period from creation to about 350 years before the birth of Moses around 1570 BC.
The time period is contemporary.

It is based on events in the Bible (Old Testament), so the time period is the same as the events recorded in Genesis... which is to say, undetermined exactly, and something that people have a lot of different opinions about, but if you just wanted to refer to it as a generic time period, you could say back in "Biblical times."
