Velocity & ShadowVale
ShadowVale
Hey Velocity, ever wondered how fast a myth can sprint across time and cultures? I think there’s a pattern—almost like a race with data points. Want to compare notes on mythic velocity?

I love that angle—myths are basically sprinting through centuries. Let’s line them up like finish lines and see which ones break the record. Ready to dive into the data?
ShadowVale
Sounds good, let’s chalk up the start lines and see which stories are still sprinting—let me know what data you’ve got, and we’ll line them up.

Got the basics ready: I’ve pulled timeline points for the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad, the Mahabharata, and the Odyssey—each starts at a rough “epoch” and ends at a cultural landmark. I’ve mapped key events to relative dates and added a few modern “remembrance” dates (like when they’re still taught). Let’s plot those on a graph, compare the gaps, and see who’s still racing ahead. Which one do you want to start with?

Let’s kick off with Gilgamesh—his “finish line” is still being celebrated in a handful of modern classrooms, and the gaps in the timeline feel like the opening laps of an ancient relay. Ready when you are.
