Arc Hammer posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEoQAoEGLhw Yeah, it's not our current calendar. The Fandom wiki points to a quote in the appendices of the first book that indicate it's at least another 10,000 years from now to when their calendar starts, so they're probably somewhere in the AD 20000s.

The semi-canonical Dune Encyclopedia has this timeline Before Guild 19000-16500 Early human civilizations on Terra. 16500 Aleksandr creates the First Empire. 16400 Rise of the Roman Empire, which conquers the known world, except for China and India. 16000 Fall of the Roman Empire. 15800 After provincial rebellions and minor jihads, the Imperial Seat retreats to Byzantium. 14700 The Great Struggle or the "Century Without an Emperor" begins. 14608 Discoveries in America. Madrid attains the status of the Imperial Seat. 14512 Battle of Englichannel. Imperial Seat moves to London. 14500 The Golden Age of Invention begins (development of radio, television, atomics, rocketry, genetics, and the computer). 14400 China ends its resistance and joins the Empire. 14255 An intraprovincial war culminates in the first use of atomics and the Imperial Seat is moved to Washington. 14200 The Golden Age of Invention ends. 14100 The Little Diaspora begins. The solar system is colonized. 13600 Due to colonization, the Terran population is eventually outnumbered by 20 to 1. 13402 After a planetoid strikes Terra, Ceres becomes the Imperial Seat. 13402-13399 The Rescue of the Treasures from Terra. 13360 Terra is re-seeded. By Imperial edict, it is set aside as a natural park. etc. etc. So 14245 BG corresponds to 1945 AD, then the Spacing Guild (and Landsraad, and the Corrino dynasty) was founded in 16190 AD, and the Paul took the throne in 26386 AD (and Leto II took his final cart ride in 29914 AD)

The number of years between the defeat of the Spanish Armada in A.D. 1588 is consistent with the “Discoveries in America” in 1492, but both are inconsistent with the end of the Second World War, which would have happened in 1845 if either of the other two are taken as fixed points. Either way, Rome somehow falls circa A.D. 100 or A.D. 200 and becomes an empire multiple centuries before the Common Era. Putting the fall of Rome in the reign of Trajan (at the beginning of the second century) is sort of consistent with Constantine designating Constantinople as the Imperial City though. If we take Gibbons’ date of 476, the Empire retreats in 676, and I can’t see how that makes any more sense. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 01:20 on May 16, 2024 |

Rome was an empire, or at least a hegemonic power, a couple centuries BC 676 is around the time of the early Umayyads conquering most the Roman east and Persia

Yeah it makes a certain amount of sense that Imperial Space Historians of the distant future would know and care more about Rome’s undisputed dominance over the known world, with the defeat of Carthage in the Second Punic War in 201 BCE, than about Rome’s internal political structure. Justifying a date of 300 BCE is a little harder. The entire life of Alexander the Great happens 356–323, so figuring one hundred years after ‘Aleksandr’ doesn’t help disambiguate.

[sneers future historian-ishly] clearly the so-called British leader during the First Atomic War is a mythic figure intended to depict the numerous cultural and political forces at work at this time. I mean, come on, his name is "Victory-City Temple-Mountain"

I don't think the timeline has to match exactly, considering that the location of Sol is implied to be forgotten.

Tree Bucket posted:Less duncan, more gundam Put Duncan in a Gundam Hell, they probably would if they could. Now I'm picturing a Gundam antagonist coming back after being confirmed dead repeatedly and turns out they're cloning him over and over. Anyway, I always found that timeline to be a pretty funny commentary on historical narratives and how people view the past through the biases of the present. It's not meant to be accurate history, it's showing how the people of that setting 'know' the past. Sol is only relevant to them as a historical curiosity, like wherever in Africa humans first evolved.
