“Thousands of years ago, before Sigourney Weaver-”
:
“ Thousands of years ago, before Sigourney Weaver- ”
pro-tip: don’t ever use the sentence “thousands of years” in your worldbuilding unless you really know what a thousand years is like
Quick cheat sheet:
The middle ages were one thousand years agoI don’t know if I need you to tell you this but Jesus was alive 2 thousand years ago during the Roman Empire3 thousand years ago the Mediterranean and Middle East were recovering from the bronze age collapse. None of the philosophers of Western philosophy (or Eastern for that matter) were born yetEarliest writing dates roughly to 5 thousand years ago.Agriculture started roughly 10 thousand years agoSo yes, you can write whatever you like but if you’re telling me that an individual dynasty has been ruling since 8000 years ago (HOLA JORGE) I have to wonder if they even had writing back then
