I read two interesting theories about the Wheel recently that this puts me in mind of. First is that, because it's been spinning forever and always will be (Dark one notwithstanding), at the moment of its creation it had already existed forever, implying that the creation of the Wheel was also the creation of time as we know it and the Creator sits outside of that. If you can bend your head round it, it neatly solves the problem of when exactly the moment of creation was in relation to the Wheel. Second was a neat idea that the turning of the Wheel only covers human history, and in a weird sort of quantum way only exists when there are humans there to observe it. This is a neat solution if you don't like the idea of one age being 100 trillion years long to account for the heat death of the universe.

Nice, don't forget "Ghoetam, sitting beneath Avendesora for forty years to gain wisdom" Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree after only a day and night. But after then he meditated for another 49 days. And probably 40 years before that, but not under that tree. I still draw the parallel though.

I would be most interested in the time before and after the books, of course.....and who knows when that was, now. However, if the books did take place in the Third age, I think it would be neat to see what life had become in the 6th or 7th age, and how much the world had progressed/regressed, and if they even would remember the stories about Rand.

Excellent video. The Mercedes-Benz radiator ornament is actually something I've been thinking about quite a lot. I really do wonder if they're actually going to show it in the TV series as that would be so much more on the nose than it is in the book. I'd wager that many readers didn't even pick up on the fact that the object Robert Jordan was describing was an actual Mercedes-Benz logo, despite the accurate description of its shape and the added "from ten paces she could sense pride and vanity" part. Part of me really wants to see how new fans that never read the books react to that. :)

Say, it's been a while since I read the books but, when you say that portal stones are from an age before the second age, so the first or something before the first, but if I recall correctly you need to chanel into the stone, and the event that triggers the change of the age to the second age it's the discovery of the source and channeling.

@4:40 the reboot is not so very likely as this implies it might be. Starting @9:40 you mention some minor spoilers that reference our time incorporated as wheel of time mythology. Combined with that, you could also mention all of the places that the WOT storyline is our mythology. Though made much after this video, Brandon and Dan have a podcast episode that details some of this. To see this, check out Intentionally Blank episode 27 and jump about 30 minutes in (or watch the whole thing if you like). Based off of the way both civilizations or timelines know if each other in their myths, a big reset is unlikely. Rather, a continuous flow from the seventh age to the first is implied. This video is nicely made and offers solid content. Well done. EDIT: fixed some auto-correct errors that used words that make no sense, and one spelling error that didn't get autocorrect. That teaches me to comment from my phone. Or maybe not. I'll probably keep doing it.

I think you nailed it when pointing out we don’t really know what age WoT is set in. We are supposed to believe it is really the Third Age, but are never given a why. The only conclusive evidence for this belief is people remember the Age of Legands and that their was an age before it. That would make three known ages. Actually, there is one more piece. People remember their was a creation. This supposes the creation was the first age. Which brings me to another thought I had. Is time a product of the Wheel and the Pattern and what does that mean? We know the Wheel is an eternal cycle. We know there are neither beginnings or endings. The creation was not the beginning. It was a beginning. For those in the pattern time goes forward and backwards to infinity. I think the creator exists outside time and so basically exists at all points of time at once, but that’s just a personal thought that makes sense to me.

Excellent video. Interesting about the ages - assuming we are in the 3rd Age, and the AOL was the 2nd Age, it implies that its unlikely the AOL will result if the DO is defeated.

Fantastic video, dude. I read most of the series decades ago and it's still my favorite Fantasy series. I love it's recenet resurgence thanks to the show. I think the show's fine. Different from the books... but fine. I think the Dark One and the Creator came into existence at the same time, and that the Dark One's "prison" was not really a prison but just the Dark One being left to exist outside of the Pattern that the Creator brought into being with the WoT. That probably pissed the DO off because everything that was 'happening' was happening in the Pattern. Nothing happened outside of it. Must've been boring. Hey maybe that's what 'The Bore' actually is - what exists outside of the Pattern is BORing. So the DO wants to influence what goes on in the Pattern but knows that if he becomes a part of the Pattern he'll lose his godhood and become vulnerable to death.

So, I recently finished the series and finally got to your channel. I found some of your timeline fascinating, with implications I hadn't considered while reading. This video brings up a couple questions for me now. Doesn't it take the One Power to activate the portal stones? Would that imply, perhaps the portal stones led to the discovery of the One Power? I assume they would have been made at the moment of creation, just not usable until the 2nd age? The Ogier. Does this mean they showed up sometime during the 2nd age? If before, we'd have their knowledge of what they experienced in the 1st. Unless it was lost at the Breaking?

So glad you watched my videos after finishing the series! The question about the Portal Stones is a good one. I think the people in the Age of Legends figured out how to use the Portal Stones with the One Power, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they ONLY work with the OP. It's possible other tech was used previous to the discovery of the OP to activate them. The only reason we think the portal stones come from an earlier age than the Second Age is because Selene says so. As for the Ogier... I don't know about this one. That's an interesting question I've never thought about. I'll have to do some digging to figure that one out. Remember though, we only know about the last 600 years or so of the history of the Age of Legends. It's possible there were thousands of years of history during the second age where a lot of stuff happened (ie. Ogier coming).

@@UnravelingthePattern Thanks for the reply. Thinking on it, it may be the great peace of the early 2nd Age that drew the Ogier to Earth. Our age wouldn't have been very... hospitable to them, I imagine.

@@jdiggitty That's what I'm thinking as well. As soon as things got hairy they started discussing leaving!

Sounds to me like portal stones and the horn are a form of technology and the age ended with the discovery of the one power.

Our site at TheFirstAge.org is a forum RP site that has delved significantly into the world building of the various Ages, connecting real-world mythology and legend into the WoT-verse. Our members have flushed out hundreds of wiki pages from our lore, 15,000+ posts, and detailed backstories about the origin of many fascinating items from the WoT past. I've always been fascinated by the Age before the Age of Legends.

Wow, this is really cool. How have I not heard about this before? I'll definitely have to check it out!

"It stands to reason that there was no first first age. " No, it does not. There was no first first age, in WoT :) It says so explicitly!
