    Esoteric Historic Timeline

 

The Following Timeline of historic Esoteric events is complied from some rough notes I started several years ago. It is not supposed to be a definitive work on the subject and will prove to be somewhat inaccurate in places. It was originally designed in order to help me put im[portant historical events into exoteric historical perspective. I have added some well known exoteric events here and there to help with getting the picture.
