This is an actual, physical document (by which I mean imaginary) being kept in Chrysopolis which will be added to when additional data is available. If parties receive additional timeline information, please add it in the talk section here or as another document until the additional info actually arrives in-game.

tcm: Abner is full of shit. 520 years between the second flood and Noah's flood? Did the Bible just forget to mention that there was a flood before Noah's flood? Using simple math and Genesis 5, one can easily determine that there are 1651 years between the time when Adam was created and the time when Lamech died (Lamech was Noah's father and he died 95 years after Shem, Ham, and Japheth were born). 1651 is substantially more than 520, about three times more. I think Abner doesn't actually know how to do math and he's just been bullshitting all this time.

If the 520 years is to be believed, then that posits that there was a flood about a hundred years after Noah was born, which is ludicrous. Noah would probably've brought that up when he was asked to build an ark for another flood.

Kerry: Igwilf quote: "If the information provided by my magics is correct, this place (Kebnekaise) is 520 million years old..."

Abner: I assure you, because of my Pythagorean diet, not even my colon is "full of shit." The calculations are correct for the data given. Don't blame me if your forgotten gods don't know how to estimate distance, or your rabbis don't know how to estimate time.
