Full Timeline of the Dune Universe (34,000 Years)

House Atreides can trace its lineage back to ancient Greece. Though the Expanded Dune Universe by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson offers some contradicting dates and accounts to the Dune Encyclopedia the Encyclopedia provides the most comprehensive timeline of the Dune universe. Though in the Original Frank Herbert Dune books Earth is lost in the midst of time the encyclopedia offers dates stretching all the way from humanities early beginnings on Earth to a few thousand years after the death of the God Emperor Leto the Second, up until the in-universe publication of the encyclopedia itself in 15540 AG.

Correction: House Atreides traces its ancestry to Greece not Rome.

The most terrifying thing to me about the Duneverse is the fact they never found any other intelligent life in the entire universe.

Earth being replanted & declared an emperially mandated natural park is the greatest thing I've ever heard

[chriss.]

Hilariously, Herbert wrote an article on sand dunes when he was a science writer, and his editor said "Who's interested in sand dunes? and never published it.

Why I love Dune the most, it’s not all laser blasters and spaceships fighting. There’s a RIDICULOUS devotion to language and ecology. It’s political intrigue in a setting that makes it amazing.

The more I learn about Dune, the more I am convinced that Frank Herbert is one of the greatest writers in history. The detail in the world, the complex political plots, the multi-dimensional characters, and the way all of these combine to convey themes is something that few other authors have pulled off. It’s even more impressive when you consider he basically invented modern science fiction.

What’s terrifying to me is how long 34, 000 years feels in the Dune universe. And yet we know humans have existed probably 200, 000 years longer than that; all of that history is lost to us. And even our existence is a blink compared to what has come before. Humans were not meant to know these things, but we know nonetheless. The dark void of the past yawns behind.

[vincer]

Imagine how many lives, stories, and generations lie within these 34, 000 years? You could probably create a thousand books based off these 34, 000 years.

No wonder Dune is treated with so much reverence it basically provided the inspiration for a lot of sci fi.

[mikhailstewart]

Wait.. the entire Dune Movie was like a blip in this video.

[totablezeus]

7:27 cool how it shows a lunar lander as “ancient, alien ruins.” Really shows how far humanity in dune has gone

[yeahnahman]

I love when you start getting into a new lore and you realise this inspired that. Like no one can tell me 40k wasn’t inspired by this

[jonathanz.]

The god emperor beginning to turn into a large worm makes me think that the worms on Dune might have been the previous alien race that started using so much spice that they started marking their own spice and eventually became as they are now, the giant worms of dune

[abrahamvanhelsing]

Warhammer 40K, Star Wars and almost every modern sci-fi: Hey can I copy your homework?
Dune: sure but change it up a bit so it doesn’t look like you did

[MrDaddynomates]

Isn't it amazing what the Human imagination can create.

[jezebulls]

After watching the 2021 film and going on a Dune marathon on your channel, I realize the latest film is only a grain of spice in a vast desert planet of source material. I will be overjoyed the day The God Emperor makes it onto the big screen. I just hope they invest the time and budget needed to properly adapt something of this magnitude.

[johnmccall]

In all this time i like to imagine there are a handful of normal people still living on earth, thankful for the peace and quiet.

THIS VIDEO IS 3 YEARS OLD. I KNOW HOW TO PRONOUCE DIASPORA AT THIS POINT.

I love how it ends on a positive note: Despite all the wars, persecution, intrigue and destruction, in the end humanity spread far and wide, safe from annihilation for as long as the universe itself persists...

[shanehudson]

I still prefer Dune when the Butlerian Jihad was a fanatical movement against Man's reliance of machines instead of a war against Skynet.
