Before 20th Century

This is a timeline of events that happened on Earth-616 before the 20th century.

## Prior to 20,000,000,000 B.C.

* In the beginning, there was nothing but the Primordial Void. The great nothingness from whence all life sprang.

## c. 20,000,000,000 B.C.

* From the nothingness, a single universe is born: the First Cosmos. It was a perfect and unchanging cosmos, being embodied by the Firmament. Feeling immense loneliness, the Firmament created the Aspirants and Celestials. The Celestials wanted a world of evolution and mortality, so they fought a Celestial War against the Aspirants. After winning the war, the Celestials shattered the First Cosmos into countless pieces, giving life to countless universes, thus forming the first Multiverse of infinite possibilities, the Second Cosmos.

## c. 19,900,000,000 B.C.

* The Celestials colonized the Second Cosmos and created servants called Beyonders to help them manage this new Multiverse. However, the Second Cosmos lasted a few hundred million years because everything at the time was new, including the concept of death. The Firmament was eager to experience it and so it willingly died, thus giving birth to the Third Cosmos.

## c. 19,700,000,000 B.C.

* The Third Cosmos was the first to contain a "narrative", having a conflict between existence, embodied by Lifebringer; and nothingness, embodied by Anti-All. The Anti-All manages to destroy the Cosmos into countless fragments, causing the Firmament to die and be reborn again, creating the Fourth Cosmos.

## c. 19,000,000,000 B.C.

* The Fourth Cosmos was inhabited by archetypical beings who were bound by patterns. They fought in endless cycles in accordance to those patterns. After the archetypes united in a war against the What-Must-Be, the Cosmos was shattered and restarted as the Fifth Cosmos.

## c. 17,600,000,000 B.C.

* The Fifth Cosmos was inhabited by diverse beings, being the first Cosmos to contain magic, and where the Great Old Ones were born. A being called Moridun merged with the Firmament to end the Fifth Cosmos, starting the cycle all over again, and beginning the Sixth Cosmos.

## c. 15,400,000,000 B.C.

* The Sixth Cosmos was vast and full of diversity. One of its planets was Taa, a highly scientifically advanced world. A Taa-an named Galan discovered that his universe was dying due to a plague known as the Black Winter. Trying to escape out of the universe, Galan encountered the Firmament, who informed him that they would both die. But that they would move on to the next cycle, and Galan would be reborn as a new life form: Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds.

## c. 13,800,000,000 B.C.
