Take the number of answers* you have posted on AB and treat it as a year, then name a significant event from that year.

(Bernardo, loosehead et al - you have to predict an event that will occur in your Answer-Year!)

King David died and King Solomon the Wise started his 40 year reign in what became known as "The Golden Age of Israel".

Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity

The Roman Valens went to war against the Goths

Egypt broke free from Roman rule

Not sure what happened then - only 76 more responses to go to make the last line make sense...

[dyli795]

Well, depends how you look at it, but in A.D.27 Jesus was around the peak of his career. The Romans were busy repointing their aqueducts and designing the latest thing in mosaic floors, we were wearing animal skins and painting our faces blue (football not invented yet)

Or........ if we start time from the big-bang (which I personaly don't believe in) the universe was in a state of pure chaos.

[Lonnie]
