Timeline of fictional historical events

Various storytellers have tried to create better backgrounds for their stories by linking them to real history. Protagonists could have witnessed a historical event or even participated in it (often fighting in various wars). In some stories they may even be originators of some event or try to prevent it (see secret history) but fail—history, as we know it, does not change. In other cases history does change, and an alternate history branches off from our own.

In other stories, writers have simply placed the story in some specific year or date.

Fictional countries may also include history of their own, even if the story itself is not concerned about them.

See also timeline of fictional future events for fictional events that were set in the future when they were first written, but which have now been overtaken by real history; and see timeline of fictional contemporary events for fictional events that were set in the present day, when they were written. However, all works where the date is referenced in the work should be listed here, like a book set in 1987 that was published in 1987, etc.

These dates are connected to either specific historical dates or real-world historical events. They are known to be fictitious — not claimed nonfiction of conspiracy theories.

    • Pharaoh Seti I is murdered by his mistress Anck Su Namun and his high priest Imhotep. Anck Su Namun, with the knowledge that Imhotep has the ability to resurrect her, commits suicide moments later. Imhotep and his priests steal her corpse and attempt to resurrect her, but Pharaoh's bodyguards interrupt Imhotep and mummify him alive, under a nasty curse. (The Mummy)

    • One of the sons of Rameses the Great is Prince Khufu Maat Kha-Tar who, with his beloved Chay-Ara, discovers a Thangarian spaceship containing Nth metal. Kha-Tar is advised by the wizard Nabu (actually a Lord of Order) and his half-brother, the warrior prince Mighty Adam of Khandaq, blessed with the power of Shazam. Together they fight various threats to Egypt, including Vandal Savage and the original Metamorph. Kha-Tar and Chay-Ara are eventually murdered by a mad priest of Set, creating a cycle of reincarnation that eventually leads to them becoming the original Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Nabu, realising his mortal form is growing weak, places his spirit in the Talismans of Fate. Mighty Adam returns to Khandaq, where his hard definition of justice (perhaps influenced by the demoness Blaze) leads to his being known as Black Adam, and to Shazam removing his powers and entombing him. (JSA and other DC Universe titles)
