The following is a historical timeline giving the dates of major events in Khorasian history, from the earliest records of civilization to the present day. The exact date (if known) is given in all cases along with a short description of the event.
Normally, one would expect different cultures to use different dating systems. However, due to the Sundering (which was a sudden global event), virtually all civilizations have adopted dating systems that are synchronized upon and renumbered with that event. The Sundering serves as a historical landmark.
