Indiana Jones And The Timeline Of Obsessive Compulsion
Hi… I’m new here… I GOT my own timeline… Some folks may have read it… I’ve posted it on several sites several years back as the “Timeline of Death” and “Timeline of Obsessive Compulsion”…I forget if I used any other names… But I have not posted an updated version in at least 5 or 6 years…
A few notes about my timeline: I began it about 10 years ago... I wanted a timeline that detailed all the Young Indiana Jones TV episodes and the classic movie trilogy, and showed how they all fit in and related to each other…
I started by straight up copying the timeline found in “World of Indiana Jones” West End Games role playing master book… Shortly after I found Allen Lane’s excellent Indy timeline on the net, and used info from it to augment my timeline…mostly the entries concerning the family channel movies (or the “third” season of Young Indy)…
From that starting point I began to add stuff by watching and re-watching all the various episodes and movies… I do have some conjectured information…but it is ALL based on stated or implied information from the source materials… I’ve even added some real history in my timeline if it is important to the Indy’s adventures…
I’ve chosen to leave out ALL off the expanded universe stuff… At one point I had the unfilmed Young Indy episodes and the deleted Old Indy book ends in my timeline, but because I believe that they now conflict with KOTCS and may conflict with other possible future Indiana Jones projects…I have removed all that information from may main timeline and created a separate one for all the un-produced and deleted Indiana Jones movie and TV productions…
I also have chosen to consider the re-edited Adventures of Young Indiana Jones to trump the original Young Indiana Jones Chronicles…like chances made in the original order of the episodes… lastly, I recently bought Indiana Jones the Ultimate Guild and the Lost Journal of Indiana Jones… Much to my disappointment they both seem to be full of contradictions…both with each others and with the source material… But they do offer some good info…and I have used some dates from them if I feel they fit in with what has been established on-screen…
INDIANA JONES AND THE
TIMELINE OF OBSESSIVE COMPULSION
By Jared A. Myers
5000 BC?: According to legend, the Ugha tribe is chosen by the “gods” to build the city of Akator. The city is made of solid gold, had aqueducts, paved roads, and technology that wouldn’t be seen again for thousands of years. Unknown to history the Ugha’s “gods” were really inter-dimensional alien beings who taught the ancient people their advanced technology. (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal.)
3100 BC: Skara Brae, a large stone-built settlement is founded on the west coast of Neolithic Scotland. The settlement is continuously occupied for six hundred years until it was apparently abounded around 2500 BC for unknown reasons. Among other things Skara Brae was notable as early example of modern drainage practices. Thousands of years later, it’ll be the subject of class taught by Prof. Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr. in 1957. (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull / Real History.)
980 BC: The Armies of Egyptian Pharaoh Shishak invade the city of Jerusalem and steals the Ark of the Covenant from the Temple of Solomon. The Ark is taken to the Egyptian City of Tanis where it is hidden in a secret chamber called the Well of Souls. (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.)

Legends say that one diamond was taken by Indian princes who cut it apart, while the other diamond known as “The Peacock's Eye” was lost, though it had been rediscovered and clues were left to its whereabouts. (The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Treasure of the Peacock's Eye / Real History.)
200BC?: Ancient people in the Nazca Desert in Peru, begin carving a series of massive geoglyphs (later known as the Nazca Lines). They will continue this practice for almost the next thousand years.

Orellana himself is killed by the natives before he could begin his journey back to Akator. The natives mummify the bodies of Orellana and his companions in their armor, burying Orellana with a gold mask, and also a Crystal Skull, in a tomb near Nazca, Peru. These events will be lost to history for the next four hundred years. (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull / Real History.)
