Decided i’ve had enough of BC/AD so we’re adopting the elder scrolls era system now

Dawn Era - Big Bang to first hominids, basically it ends when we get the first sentient humanoids, roughly 6,000,000 BCE. The development of sentience in hominids marks the beginning of human history.

Merethic Era - First hominids to invention of writing, roughly 3,400 BCE with cuneiform in Mesopotamia. Ends with the beginning of recorded history and the Ancient History period.

First Era - Beginning of recorded history to beginning of Classical era, roughly 500 BCE. The Classical Era being much more well documented and the start of when we really begin to see powerful empires conquering the world is big enough to mark an era ending.

Second Era - Beginning of Classical era-roughly 1453, the fall of Constantinople and the end of the last Classical empire. The end of the last Classical empire and transition into modern, colonialist empires, along with the Age of Exploration, the "discovery" of the New World, and the exploitation of Africa is big enough to start an era imo.

Third Era - Fall of Constantinople-Invention of the steam engine and beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution permanently changed human society and marked the beginning of a geological era so it's definitely enough to end a historical era.

Fourth Era - Beginning of the Industrial Revolution until the invention of the internet and the start of the Digital Revolution, sometime in 1989 with the invention of the World Wide Web

Fifth Era - 1990-Present.

This is no longer 2020. We now live in 5E 30, mark your calendars and say goodbye to that bullshit BCE/CE system too, shit was just BC/AD rebranded

The Mystery

I am the wind that breathes upon the sea

I am the wave of the ocean

I am the murmur of the billows

I am the ox of the seven combats

I am the vulture upon the rocks

I am a beam of the sun

I am the fairest of plants

I am a wild boar in valour

I am a salmon in the water

I am a lake in the plain

I am a word of science

I am the point of the lance of battle

I am the God who created in the head the fire

Who is it who throws light into the meeting on the mountain?

Who announces the ages of the moon?

Who teaches the place where couches the sun? (If not I?)

— Amergin, brother of Evir, Ir, and Eremon, the first Milesian princes

Anubis is the Greek name of the god of death, mummification, embalming, the afterlife, cemeteries, tombs, and the Underworld, in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head. Archeologists have identified Anubis's sacred animal as an Egyptian canid, the African golden wolf. Anubis was depicted in black, a color that symbolized regeneration, life, the soil of the Nile River, and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming. Anubis is associated with his brother Wepwawet, another Egyptian god portrayed with a dog's head or in canine form, but with grey or white fur. Historians assume that the two figures were eventually combined. In the Old Kingdom, Anubis was the most important god of the dead. He was replaced in that role by Osiris during the Middle Kingdom (2000–1700 BC). In the Roman era, which started in 30 BC, tomb paintings depict him holding the hand of deceased persons to guide them to Osiris. - Wikipedia sourced.

The gods did not reveal, from the beginning, All things to us; but in the course of time, Through seeking we may learn, and know things better, But as for certain truth, no man has known it, Nor will he know it; neither of the gods, Nor yet of all things of which I speak. And even if by chance he were to utter The perfect truth, he would himself not know it; For all is but a woven web of guesses.

Xenophanes of Colophon, 5th century BCE
