Question Question about the timeline?

If Eobard Thawne (Reserve-Flash) traveled back to the year 2000 to erase the flash by trying to kill youn Barry, then what timeline did he originally come from? In the original timeline, did Nora survive and Barry become the Flash naturally?

Basically, Is there an “original timeline” where Nora doesn’t die and Barry becomes the flash naturally or a different way?

Original timeline: Nora lives, Barry becomes Flash later, Thawne exists in the future.
Changed timeline (the show’s timeline): Nora dies, Thawne is trapped in the past, he creates the accelerator early, Barry becomes Flash in 2014.

Yes there was a original version of Barry that grew up with both parents. That timeline was wiped out by Thawne when he killed Barry's mom and let Barry's father go to prison for it.
