This is a timeline of the Thorgal universe. It contains all the major events, and is in large part described without dates because of the general lack of dates in the Thorgal comics. All dates mentioned are approximate.

Timeline[]

    • Atlantis, a kingdom the size of a continent and inhabited by the People of the Stars rule the Earth. The People of the Stars were thousands of years ahead in culture and science compared to the other people who populated Earth at the time.
    • A great catastrophe causes the kingdom to disappear into the ocean, leaving only the city of Archéopolis standing.
    • The surviving People of the Stars, numnbering in the thousands, manage to  leave Earth aboard great spaceships launching from Archéopolis. They set out looking for a new world to live in.
