Choose a year in history based on your post count.

For example, this will be my 223rd post - so I can select 223 BC or 223 AD.

Tell us of a world event which occurred in that year. If you can't find an event, or if the date is in the distant past or far future - make something up. Try to make it at least somewhat realistic if possible. :)

223 BC

(Greece) The Spartan king Cleomenes III destroys and burns the city of Megalopolis but the inhabitants are saved by Philopoemen who leads the defence of the city until the inhabitants can escape.

1188 - Maybe it's not that very important event but Newgate Prison was built in London then.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Either the sun will be a red giant, or the second coming of Christ will have occurred--depending on your viewpoint on this.

8002 AD:

"The Price is Right" is still on the air in America, but the host and announcer are so unknown and wacky that instead of giving a standing ovation at the beginning of the show, they groan!

680... 680 B.C. In 680 B.C., Esarhaddon (680-669 B.C.) son the Assyrian King Sennacherib (704-681) became King of the Asyrian Empire. The High Priests had decreed that Babylon could not be rebuilt for 70 years but the Book of Fate is turned upside down and the figure 70 becomes 11 so Esarhaddon taking his entire reign rebuilds Babylon. This action won the hearts of the Babylonians who in 675 B.C. repulsed the invasion of their country by the Elamite Humba-haldash.
