also 5,000 years ago / circa 3,000 BCE
+ Queen Bansheera's demons inhabit future site of Mariner Bay (801-OpLs)
+ Queen Bansheera apparently destroyed (816-CStr)
[Although the Grand Cross occurred 2,000 years later (819-QRet), Bansheera would know nothing of the fate of her palace.]
+ victorious warlock eventually imprisons remaining demons and self in Tomb of Forever after moving Bansheera's palace to Egypt (801-OpLS)
[Like Vypra and Loki when betrayed in 826-ATRO, the palace was likely moved from Mariner Bay to Egypt through the earth, although also apparently shrunken from giant size and covered with heiroglyphics (801-OpLs). Perhaps seeing the sinking of the palace before their banishment, the demons ultimately concluded that Mariner Bay lay atop the ruins of their palace, apparently not realizing that the ruins were in Egypt instead.]
also circa 3,000 BCE
- Egyptian period of pharaoh rule begins (Source: Encarta 2000)
circa 2900 BCE
- great Egyptian pyramids constructed; Great Sphinx, theme for Zeo Ranger Three, also constructed (403-ShSt)
over 3,000 years ago / before 1,000 CE
- Scorpius is raising Trakeena as his daughter (710-Sunf, 736-BMut,
737-GOTL)
[When Scorpius invaded Magna Defender's planet (710-Sunf, see
"3,000 years ago"), he showed an exceptional compassion for Magna Defender's request to release his son
Zika, which seems unlikely unless Scorpius already knew the parental bond through
a young Trakeena. Furthermore, in 737-GOTL, Captain
Mutiny knew of Trakeena, fearing her
wrath when Deviot allied with him.]
3,000 years ago / circa 1,000 BCE
- Scorpius invades Lost
Galaxy, ravages Magna Defender's planet and kills Zika
while allied with Captain Mutiny;
monster armies mix (710-Sunf)
[Captain Mutiny had connections
to Scorpius's monsters, shown by the banners in his castle (737-GOTL) and Hexuba's
graveyard (740-HGrv). While Scorpius had to have been in the Lost Galaxy to ally with Captain Mutiny (shown briefly during the
invasion in 710-Sunf) and attack Magna Defender's planet (which was shown to be apparently in the
Lost Galaxy in 710-Sunf), he did not appear native to the
dimension. When portals opened between normal space and Mirinoi, Scorpius suddenly attempted to retrieve the Quasar Sabers now that they were finally
available to him (701-QsQ1).]
- Great Battle outside
Lost Galaxy between ancient Galaxy Rangers (including Magna Defender) and forces of evil, perhaps
Scorpius (701-QsQ1, 720-LGb2)
[See next entry.]
- ancient Galaxy Rangers killed, powers scattered, Shark, Rhino, and Phoenix Galactabeasts lost but eventually
rebuilt by Deviot (720-LGb2)
[In defeat following the great battle described by Deviot in 720-LGb2, the
three Galactabeasts drifted lifeless
in normal space until being found and rebuilt by
Deviot. Furthermore, around the same time as
the Galactabeasts' overwhelming
defeat, the Quasar Sabers arrived on Mirinoi (701-QsQ1),
much like the pink saber went to Gwinnet following Pink Ranger's death in 732-PQsS. Also, the Rangers' powers and artifacts were widely
scattered throughout space (701-QsQ1, 703-RTTR,
704-Rook, 706-Orn,
707-DblD, etc.), suggesting the destruction
of the original Rangers. If Scorpius had been in the battle, this could
explain the "dead" status of his Scorpion
Stinger.]
- weakened Magna Defender sends Lights of Orion to Earth, releases decoy Lights on Mirinoi
before falling into crevice at hands of Treacheron (709-MagD)
[On Mirinoi (709-MagD), Magna
Defender released what looked like the Lights of Orion from a small wooden box
identical to the one he would later use when summoning decoy Lights to trick Chillyfish (711-SiSl). The actual Lights, however, would lay on Earth for eons before being secretly taken aboard
Terra Venture during the space colony's
construction (implied in 706-LOrn when the Lights were stated to have been in the
earth of Terra Venture for eons).]
- Mirinoi sucked into Lost
Galaxy, Scorpius trapped outside (701-QsQ1)
[Mirinoi had strong connections to the
Galaxy Rangers, yet the Galaxy Rangers showed signs of operating in
normal space rather than the Lost Galaxy (see "scattering," above),
indicating that Mirinoi had to have been
originally outside the Lost Galaxy. In Terra Venture's day, however, Mirinoi was shown inside the Lost Galaxy when portals were opened between the planet and
normal space, finally allowing Scorpius entry again (701-QsQ1, 702-QsQ2).
The transportation of Mirinoi may have been Hexuba's doing, to prevent Scorpius from taking the Quasar Sabers, as Mirinoi was apparently returned to normal space shortly after Hexuba's destruction (740-HGrv).]
- Villamax resigns from Scorpius's army while Trakeena is still a baby, ends up on Onyx (721-Heir)
[Although Scorpius had an army of Villamax monsters
when he invaded the Lost Galaxy (710-Sunf), tensions existed between Scorpius and the loner Villamax, as indicated by Kegler's anxiety over going to the Scorpion Stinger while Scorpius was dying (721-Heir). Villamax
knew of Trakeena in present day, but she
didn't know him (721-Heir), suggesting that
he had resigned before she'd grown up.]
also 3,000 years ago / circa 1,000 BCE
- Rito takes on his modern form in mid-life crisis (436-BITS)
[Rito called himself a 3,000-year-old pile of bones (436-BITS), but since he had to have grown up with Rita well over 10,000 years ago (305-NjQ2), the skeletal form to which he referred must have originated 3,000 years ago.]

- Egyptian period of pharaoh rule ends (Source: Encarta 2000)

- Temple of Zeus, perhaps a theme for Zeo Ranger Four, constructed in ancient Greece (407-EDog)
