==Distant Past==
* 12M.A.: By this point, the Na'vi have evolved on Pandora. For the next 12 million years, the Na'vi experience few evolutionary changes or changes in population numbers.The World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration, p.g. 64
* ?: The life of Taronyu, the first Na'vi to ride a banshee.https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/toruk/pandora?explore
* The Omatikaya Hometree existed over 20,000 years before the events of Avatar.The World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration page ??
===9th Century BC===
* c. 852: Birth of Entu and Tsyal.Toruk - The First Flight took place 3,000 years before the events of the film, and their ages were both 15 at the time.
* c. 837: The first Toruk Makto, and the events of Toruk - The First Flight take place.https://www.facebook.com/torukthefirstflight/videos/1282373775121924/ Interview. 3,000 years before 2154, also accounting for the lack of a 0 AD in the modern calendar, places it at around 837 BC. Hawnutu'un answers the call of Entu.Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora — So'lek's Journey issue #2, page 9
* Sometime in this century, Hawnutu'un undergoes the Path of the Promiser and founds the Trr'ong Clan.
* Sometime after the events of Toruk - The First Flight, Entu leaves the Omatikaya Clan and journeys to the Western Frontier to found the Sarentu Clan.
==21st century==
*In the early 21st century, the Resources Development Administration (RDA) is formed in Silicon Valley, California when its two founders borrow money from friends and family to begin the company.James Cameron's Avatar: An Activist Survival Guide, page 147

The first landings on Pandora were in 2084, so allowing time for travel it was discovered in 2077 at the latest, providing us with a latest-possible discovery for Polyphemus in 2057.

*Birth of Tuktirey.
===2168===
* While Jake and Neytiri are on a date, the RDA is seen in the vicinity of outer space between Pandora between January 2168 and August 2168, although they have not landed yet.The Avatar site mentions there are 13 years instead of 14 years between the final battle of Avatar and the Sky People returning. 2154 + 13 is 2167, but this is too low considering the "one year later" claim in The Way of Water since The Way of Water must also be set in 2170 provided the Tuktirey information. Because the final battle was set near the end of 2154, it can be rounded up to 2155 which makes both claims make sense, using the logic that a length such as "a year and 4 months" or even "a year and 7 months" can simply be rounded down to "one year later" for the convenience of storytelling. Additionally, Spider says the battle was 14 years ago during The High Ground, suggesting 2168 because 2168 - 14 = 2154, the year of the battle.
** The events of Avatar: The High Ground begin during this time.While Jake mentions 15 years have passed in The High Ground (volume 2), So'lek's Journey (issue 5) shows the RDA is already on Pandora in 2168.
** The Na'vi begin preparing against the RDA's return en-masse and begin training in zero gravity. The Omatikaya clan also moves to High Camp.
** The Na'vi confront Frances Ardmore in outer space.
** Josh Winslow and Meg Elkins are killed.
** The RDA retakes Hell's Gate and by this point, the RDA begins retaking all of Pandora.
* While Neytiri and Jake are in the forest, they witness and escape a forest fire.
* The city of Bridgehead undergoes major development this year due to advanced 3D printing, while Jake has been leading the Resistance against the RDA.
* So'lek encounters Alexander Tremayne while both of them are imprisoned.
===2169===
* Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora occurs in this year.
**After fifteen years of cryosleep, the students of The Ambassador Program wake up, emerging into a world where the RDA and Na'vi are at war. With the aid of the Resistance, the students set out on a journey to link with their heritage and explore Pandora.
** During the repression of the Colonization of the Western Frontier, Resistance members Billy Nash, Daniela Neves-MacKay and Hajir Beshara are killed. Two RDA leaders John Mercer and Angela Harding are killed, while the Na'vi Mokasa is killed.
==2170s==
===2170===
*Most of Avatar: The Way of Water occurs in this year, presumably in the first half of the year.Avatar: The Way of Water: The Visual Dictionary mentions Tuktirey was born in 2163 and is also 7 years old, meaning it's impossible for the movie to be set before 2170.
**Months pass as the Sully family stays with the Metkayina clan, and Ronal's pregnancy progresses. The children learn how to freedive and about the marine life in the Eastern Sea.
**Lo'ak befriends the tulkun Payakan after Aonung strands Lo'ak in the ocean.
*It is strongly suggested The Way of Water has a final week of sorts, which begins about halfway throughout the film, since in a deleted scene, Ardmore is seen telling Quaritch she will give him a SeaDragon for only one week to search for Jake. Additionally, Ronal is heavily pregnant when she chastises Lo'ak for bonding with Payakan. From this point on, many condensed events occur in a short period of time:
**Quaritch burns down a village belonging to the Ta'unui clan.
**Ro'a is killed by Mick Scoresby and his whaling team and her calf dies shortly after.
**The Skirmish at the Three Brothers occurs.
**Five recoms and Neteyam are killed.
**Neteyam is given a water burial and funeral.
* Avatar: Reckoning is suggested to begin this year.Although a year has not been provided, Lily Reese is said to have "not been on Pandora 16 years ago".
===2175===
*Avatar 4 is set sometime around this year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LF1RonbhSQ&t=216s
===2179===
* On June 20th, a batch of emergency oxygen, which was on Pandora in 2154, expires.https://www.yourprops.com/Emergency-Respirator-original-movie-prop-Avatar-2009-YP61858.html
