Earth (Pangea)



Within the alternate history of Earth created by Minax's disruptions in Ultima II, Pangea is the supercontinent on Earth existing around the year 9,000,000 B.C. It was this point in time, nine thousand millennia ago, that comprised one of the four major time-zone accessible through the  time doors

Description
In standard history, the Pangea was a phenomenon of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, and would have been present at around 190,000,000 B.C. In the continuity of Ultima II's world, however, the land mass was still undivided as of what would have been the Miocene period, pushing the eventual occurrence of the continental drift forward by millions of years.

If the Stranger traversed this super-continent in the quest against Minax, the hero would have found that there was a small human settlement on the landmass, an extraordinary exception to widespread scientific consensus regarding the era. It was probably founded by time travelers who ventured the Time Gates before the Stranger did; indeed, many inhabitants have knowledge of facts about 2112 A.D. A dungeon could also be found in the mountainous region which would eventually develop into modern Greenland.

Trivia

 * This is the only time age without a tower or a castle by Minax.
 * The dungeon entrance in northern Pangea (Proto-Greenland) is inaccessible in the DOS port of the game. However, it is accessible in later ports, e.g. in the 1983 remake for Commodore 64. Furthermore, a fan-made patch has corrected the problem for the DOS version.
