Revisiting The Technic History Chronology

Sam Hedin spoke of four centuries of mankind on Aeneas. See here. The scientific base on Aeneas was established to study the Didonians. Chunderban Desai reflects that human beings have been trying to communicate with the Didonians for seven hundred years. See Poul Anderson, The Day Of Their Return IN Anderson, Captain Flandry: Defender Of The Terran Empire (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 74-238 AT 7, p. 129.

A very careful rereading of the Technic History might enable us to draft a provisional chronology with explanations for disagreements between characters or possible mistakes on their part.

Kaor, Paul!a

Which is exactly what Sandra Miesel did with her Chronology of Technic Civilization. Which I found unsatisfactory and revised. Will some other fan find my version defective and revise it? I would not object if he can make genuine improvements to the Chronology.
