i have developed a deep loathing for people who are all 'yes i have done a completely integrated star wars legends/disney clone wars timeline' and then it turns out the timeline is just a list of book chapters, comic pages, and episode titles. no. that is not a timeline. that is a timetable. a timeline has events.
(the only valid timeline creator is the person behind numidian prime, with the continuity breakdown category and a complete disney-canon timeline, which is my saviour)
this is worse than calibrating theoretical theran eruption dates to a lunar calendar while also remembering to keep the precession of the equinoxes in mind so that the seasons are also in the right place, and that nasa kindly put the calendar in the right order so that everything from 4 october 1582ce is indeed in the julian calendar but all the dates need a year added to them to be the correct bce one.
such as: in 1518bce, the winter solstice was on 3 ianuarius, there was a penumbral lunar eclipse on the 12th, the vernal equinox was on 5 aprilis, the summer solstice of 7 iulius had a full moon (1518bce was a very special year where the moon was waxing from new on the winter solstice, full on the summer). there was a partial solar eclipse on 22 iulius, spica rose c. 18 september, the sun began to shine in the throne room of knossos c. 26 september, 11 days before the lunar new year, meaning that there weren't any intercalary days to add that year. the autumn equinox was on 7 october, shortly before the sowing of flax seed. the new lunar year probably began c. the 19th (since the new year was in autumn), which would be followed by the opening of the new wine.
i am what they call intense about chronology.
