3100-50,000 AD

"Flight to Forever."

In several periods, Saunders and Belgotai do not pause long enough to have any adventure.

3100 AD radioactivity.
3200 AD a vitrified, lifeless crater.
3500 AD, and centuries afterward, forest.
4100 AD a College with a psychophone (translator).
4300 AD merchants' children's playground.
4400 AD space barbarians sacking a villa.
5000 AD projector trapped inside a massive construction until -
25,296 AD Galactic Empire.
26,000 AD the pyramid has become a wooded hill.
27,000 AD agricultural village.
28,000 AD men quarrying the pyramid.
30,000 AD a stone city.
31,000 AD Solar Matriarchy.
34,000 AD devastated city.
35,000 AD peasants.
36,000 AD mercenaries hired to protect Earth.
50,000 AD when the time travellers do spend time and make a difference

- but, as I often wind up saying, no more tonight!

Kaor, Paul!

I recall one stop where Martin Saunders was told a ruling quasi-theocracy tinkered with our BC/AD era dating dating by adding three or four more years AD. To bring the birth of Christ closer to the correct date.

Truthfully, they were correct. Denis the Short, who invented our BC/AD era dating system, did err in his calculations of when Christ was born. The Messiah was most likely born in what we call 5 BC.

Ad astra! Sean

Sean,

That change to BC/AD dating was in "Time Heals."

Paul.
