Dragaera

Random thoughts and musings--SPOILERS

Remember, even if humans colonized Dragaera, it was a long time ago, 
like 100,000 years. Think about that: 100,000 years ago on Earth we 
sitting in caves sharpening spears.

That would be 100,000 Dragerian years ago. The estimate from the 
Dragerian time line is 200,000 years. That's about the current estimate 
of the age of Homo Sapiens.  There is no evidence that time runs at the 
same speed on earth & Dragaera. From  the off Dragerian experiences we 
know of   Vlad & Sethra the Younger we now that time can flow 
differently in different places in the Dragerian Universe. From the 
evidence of the novels the original  colonists to Dragaera would have 
had to originate on earth  some time after the evolution of modern 
Italian & Hungarian ( within the last 1000 earth years) . And very 
probably during a period where communism existed & was taken seriously ( 
the 19th & 20th centuries). If the Steven Brust that is on this list is 
the same Steven Brust having the conversations with Parfi the now on 
Dragaera would be in the first Reign of the Dragon in the Second Great 
Cycle. Therefor  time would seem to pass on Dragaera somewhere between 
200 & 2000 times as fast as it would on earth.

As no one but Mr. Brust has had interdimensional travel on Earth in the 
last 1000 years I am guessing that the original  earth colonists were 
kidnapped by the Jenoine for their experiments.
