I mean, surely folks visit the place from time to time? Even if you assume that the Griffons themselves are thick as thieves and don't want anyone to know how crappy their capital is, I have to assume a pony or two had gone for a visit at some point.

The fall I've put at XX BF, but between an ~18 BF event and an ~87 BF event. I think that's a pretty safe range.<br /><br />The rise I've put a lot farther back; way back before the foundation of Equestria in fact. Something about the way those events are depicted, combined with Twilight's use of the word "ancient" suggests a time before Celestia and Luna to me. Could be totally wrong, but the lack of information makes it kind of moot anyway I suppose. I liked the Doc's suggestion that the scale of Griffonstone suggests fairly new city, but looking again, the city is built in such a way that I'm not sure they could expand much if they wanted to.<br /><br />On a related note, can anyone recall any other instances of the word "ancient" being used to describe anything in the show?</div> </div> </div> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile1010981"> <dt> <strong>PaulloDEC</strong><br /><img src="./download/file.php?avatar=4245_1478491587.jpg" width="160" height="160" alt="User avatar" /><br /><span class="user-customtext"><span style="color: #33027D"><span style="font-weight: bold">Gah!</span></span></span> </dt> <dd><strong>Joined:</strong> Jun 13, 2014</dd> <dd><strong>Location:</strong> Queensland, Australia</dd> <dd><strong>Gender:</strong> <span class="gender Male">Male</span></dd> </dl> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <hr class="divider" /> <div id="p1011005" class="post"> <div class="postbody"> <div class="postwrapper"> <p class="author"><img src="./styles/shine/imageset/icon_post_target.gif" width="11" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" />by <strong>Seven Seas</strong> <a href="search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=Seven+Seas&sd=a&t=5120&sf=msgonly">(?)</a> » Sun May 24, 2015 1:24 pm</p> <div class="content">I searched the transcripts on the FiM wiki, and here is A Comprehensive List of Things That Are Ancient:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Griffons</span><br /><br />S05E08: <img src="./images/smilies/excite.gif" alt=":excite:" title="Oh boy oh boy oh boy!" class="reimg" onload="reimg(this);" onerror="reimg(this);" /> "In ancient times, griffons were known to be as greedy as dragons, always hoarding their bits and other treasures."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold">The Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters</span><br />S01E02: <img src="./images/smilies/twiwhat.png" alt=":shock:" title="I'm shocked.

Thanks for putting that together!<br /><br />Only one of those references something concrete, but thankfully it comes up on two separate occasions; the Castle of the Two Sisters, which was constructed early on in Celestia and Luna's reign. It doesn't really help in terms of narrowing the field, but it does tell us that the time period when Celestia and Luna began their reign was long enough ago that it would, by modern standards, now be considered "ancient". I'd feel comfortable leaving the rise of Griffonstone where it is for the moment, in the vague period before the foundation of Equestria.</div> </div> </div> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile1011388"> <dt> <strong>PaulloDEC</strong><br /><img src="./download/file.php?avatar=4245_1478491587.jpg" width="160" height="160" alt="User avatar" /><br /><span class="user-customtext"><span style="color: #33027D"><span style="font-weight: bold">Gah!</span></span></span> </dt> <dd><strong>Joined:</strong> Jun 13, 2014</dd> <dd><strong>Location:</strong> Queensland, Australia</dd> <dd><strong>Gender:</strong> <span class="gender Male">Male</span></dd> </dl> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <hr class="divider" /> <div id="p1011400" class="post"> <div class="postbody"> <div class="postwrapper"> <p class="author"><img src="./styles/shine/imageset/icon_post_target.gif" width="11" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" />by <strong><span style="color: #FF00FF;" class="username-coloured mod">Fizzbuzz</span></strong> <a href="search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=Fizzbuzz&sd=a&t=5120&sf=msgonly">(?)</a> » Mon May 25, 2015 12:03 am</p> <div class="content">I don't think we can use those few cases to pin down a specific timeframe for what happened in Griffonstone.

That definitely changes thing a bit.<br /><br />If we assume that Griffons are all about the male monarchs (in the same way that ponies are all about the female monarchs), all we have to do is establish how long a Griffon might rule for to get a rough idea of how long the kingdom lasted. Unfortunately we're back to making assumptions, given that we don't even know the average lifespan of a pony, much less a Griffon.<br /><br />So anyway, if we assume they have similar lifespans to ponies (who, based on the Apple family seem to age similarly to humans), how long would a king's reign last? In the real world I guess reigns tended to be kinda short due to war/disease/too much mutton etc, but in Equestria that stuff is less of an issue.</div> </div> </div> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile1011516"> <dt> <strong>PaulloDEC</strong><br /><img src="./download/file.php?avatar=4245_1478491587.jpg" width="160" height="160" alt="User avatar" /><br /><span class="user-customtext"><span style="color: #33027D"><span style="font-weight: bold">Gah!</span></span></span> </dt> <dd><strong>Joined:</strong> Jun 13, 2014</dd> <dd><strong>Location:</strong> Queensland, Australia</dd> <dd><strong>Gender:</strong> <span class="gender Male">Male</span></dd> </dl> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <hr class="divider" /> <div id="p1011584" class="post"> <div class="postbody"> <div class="postwrapper"> <p class="author"><img src="./styles/shine/imageset/icon_post_target.gif" width="11" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" />by <strong>Bremen</strong> <a href="search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=Bremen&sd=a&t=5120&sf=msgonly">(?)</a> » Mon May 25, 2015 8:13 am</p> <div class="content">Assuming peaceful reigns, one could assume the number of kings to be roughly equal to the number of generations (after all, usually a king will be succeeded by his son), which for humanity is usually 20-25 years.

Nightmare Rarity is now locked down to mid-Season 3, thanks to a cameo by that pesky Trixie character.<br /><br />Besides that, plugged a bunch of other gaps over the last few days. The timeline now includes information from:<br /><br />• Tirek Fiendship<br />• Nightmare Rarity (All)<br />• Return of Queen Chrysalis (All)<br />• Siege of the Crystal Empire (Part 1)<br />• The Cutie Map (Parts 1 and 2)<br /><br />As always, if anyone feels like taking a look, I'd be glad to hear of any errors/omissions. This thing is starting to get legitimately monstrous.</div> </div> </div> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile1112625"> <dt> <strong>PaulloDEC</strong><br /><img src="./download/file.php?avatar=4245_1478491587.jpg" width="160" height="160" alt="User avatar" /><br /><span class="user-customtext"><span style="color: #33027D"><span style="font-weight: bold">Gah!</span></span></span> </dt> <dd><strong>Joined:</strong> Jun 13, 2014</dd> <dd><strong>Location:</strong> Queensland, Australia</dd> <dd><strong>Gender:</strong> <span class="gender Male">Male</span></dd> </dl> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <hr class="divider" /> <div id="p1253203" class="post"> <div class="postbody"> <div class="postwrapper"> <p class="author"><img src="./styles/shine/imageset/icon_post_target.gif" width="11" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" />by <strong>PaulloDEC</strong> <a href="search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=PaulloDEC&sd=a&t=5120&sf=msgonly">(?)</a> » Sat Mar 26, 2016 1:23 am</p> <div class="content">With new Pony right around the corner, I figured one last update might be appropriate before the new stuff starts rolling in.
