I know that we talked about this in another thread. I thought it deserved its own discussion. 
from now until Butlerian Jihad - thousands of years?? from Battle of Corrin until Paul - Paul to Leto II's death: about 3500 years Leto's death to Heretics: about 1500 years Av - please feel free to edit in dates as we determine them/change them.

Hmm, I'm gonna have to think 'bout it. IIRC, the dates given are in the 10,000's. But nothing to indicate what calendar...may be a new one. I think we've got a post where we talk about it...will have to look for it. --A |

I know we talked about it someplace, but cannot remember which thread, either.
The dates for Leto and post-Leto I pulled pretty much directly from God Emperor and Heretics. But I do not know if the years they mention are even remotely our years.

Yeah...no way of knowing. And no reason to suspect it either. About the only dates I remeber are 12 years of Paul's reign, and nearly 4,000 for Leto II. --A |

I just finished reading Hunters of Dune and they had a timeline in the back of the book. I am not sure how "cannonical" these dates would be, as they come from Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson rather than Frank Herbert himself. The dates seem to be divided into BG - Before Guild and AG - After Guild. Only one date gives given an equivalent in our years. Since I am not feeling too well right now, this is an extremely abbrieviated version: 1287BG - thinking machines called Titans begin the "Time of Titans" 1182BG - Titan Xerxes starts taking over planets, changes his name to Omnius, and starts an interstellar empire run by thinking machines 203BG Holtzmann, taking the work from his assistant, comes up with his equations which will later become key to interstellar and interuniversal travel 201BG Butlerian Jihad begins 200BG League of Nobles (planets run by humans) destroy the thinking machines on Earth by using atomics 108BG end of Butlerian Jihad when human forces under the command of an Atreides and a Harkonnen destroy all thinking machine enclaves other then the one on Corrin 88BG Battle of Corrin, humans take over all of known space, beginning of the rift between Atreides and Harkonnen houses formation of Bene Gesserit, Suk, Mentats, Swordsmasters, etc. 1AG (APPROX 13,000 AD our time!) formation of Spacing Guild, Great Convention, and Orange Catholic Bible 10175AG birth of Paul Atreides 10191AG House Atreides moves from Caladan to Arrakis 10207AG birth of Leto II and Ghanima 10217AG Leto II takes power 13725AG death of Leto II Famine Times The Scattering 14929AG birth of Miles Teg 15213AG birth of the twelth (current) Duncan Idaho ghola for the Bene Gesserit; Honored Matres begin to return to space of the former Empire 15229AG Honored Matres attack Arrakis 15240AG Battle of Junction; culiminating events of Chapterhouse Dune |

Wow! Nice work on the timeline. Seeing the formation of the Spacing Guild, Great Convention and Orange Catholic Bible makes me want to read Dune again. Yeah, I think I'm getting Dune fever. I've already started skimming the chapters. *shakes head* what about those other books on the night stand??!! ugh. |
