year

[Emperor Harkonnen]

After the Guild was founded they used that year as basis year for the upcoming years.

but what did they use before, and when did they stop using Jesus' birth as basis year?

[Anathema]

The foundation of the Guild marked a new era, that's probably why.

[AlteaDeo]

did they ever used christian datation anyway?

[Khan]

Didn't they stop the catholic calendar after the destruction of earth

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Earth wasn't destroyed, at least not acording to the Dune appendix.

[AlteaDeo]

yeah, aren't they talking about Terra of Old Earth somewhere? or is it just in DE.. ?

[Colonel_Worf]

It doesn't mention what they used before Guild in the novels as far as I'm aware of...

[Emperor Harkonnen]

After the Butlerian Jihad a represent from each religion in the universe with more than one million members was summoned to earth to discuss something which I don't remember

They discussed/created the O.C. Bible. But that was only in the DE.

[Anathema]

I believe it was also menioned in the Dune appendix.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Yes it was. I have never read anything in the DE, so all info I have, I get from Dune books.
