Let’s brainstorm the history of our world. We read graphic timelines from left to right, but a blog timeline is mostly from top to bottom, so we start…
Year 0 to 10 Million years:
18.5 M BTE to 8.5 M BTE years:
Fossils that far back are rocks and the occasional computer chip. Few people on our world will know what a computer chip is so, no worries.
10 Million years to 15 Million years
8.5 M BTE to 3.5 M BTE years:
People were shorter then and made stuff out of rocks. These are the ages from the beginning of life to giant dinosaurs and many creatures we have not seen on earth. People were always around, though some were pretty strange and primitive.
15 Million to 15 Million + 17 years
3.5 M BTE to 3,449,324 BTE:
A really big magic thing hits the planet. It kills almost everyone, but it brings magic to our world .
Parts of our planet are thrown into space to create the 7 moons. Moonlight becomes the greatest source of magic for our world.
15 Million + 17 to 18 449 331 years
3,449,324 BTE to TE:
Life rebuilds. Humans try out many different shapes and sizes and different relationships with magic. Most species will not survive long, but strangenesses will always happen.
18 449 331 (The Event):
We don’t talk about the event, at least until we decide what the event was, but it was important. From now on we measure time from TE.
TE to 3000 years:
The stone age.
3000 to 3500 years:
The first bronze age
3500 to 3900 years:
The first iron age
3900 to 4100 years:
The bronze resurgence
4100 to 4300 years:
Turtle wars
4300 to 7000 years:
The second iron age
7000 to ???
Into the future, still brainstorming…..
Automagitech life forms evolve.
Automagitechs become the dominant life form on the planet.
Automagitechs are decimated by a magi-bio disease. Was it magi-bio warfare?
Automagitechs are subdued and in many cases, enslaved.
Intergalactic explorers discover our planet. Magic is rare across the galaxy and our world becomes a much sought after and fought over resource.
Galactic forces join or are subdued and peace ensues. Our world becomes a protected site and extra-stellar visits are restricted to a limited number of researchers and very wealthy tourists.
A series of magical mishaps convinces the galaxy that our world’s magic is unlucky and can cause impotence among middle aged men. Our world is left alone and forgotten.
