Is this a timeline of universal or christian history?
I noticed that no dates from the Eastern Orthodox history were present in the timeline, and added some landmark dates from the history of the Russian Orthodox Church. This blank is all the more appaling, as there are such weird entries as:
- Abu Bekr, first Islamic Caliph, seat at Medina
- Modern English language is formed
- Earthquake in Lisbon, Portugal kills 30,000
- 1837-1901 Victoria queen of England
What do Abu Bekr, English language, 18th-century earthquake in Lisbon, and Queen Victoria have to do with Christianity???? --Ghirlandajo 10:12, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
