The Andorian Incident |
Said to have happened 3,000 years before the episode. This would seem to contradict Soval's claim that Vulcans did not achieve star flight until 1,500 years after the Great Awakening |

SPock said his family had held the land for more than 2000 Earth years. This is 2001 years prior to the episode. |

Soval says Surak is still thought of this way after 1,800 years. He may be referring to the Great Awakening with this comment, but it seems sensible that Surak's movement gathered pace for some years before it really changed the planet |

The Forge |
Soval said it took the Vulcans nearly 1,500 years after the great Awakening to travel to the stars. This is 1,499 years after. Note that since the Romulan splinter group left at the time of the Awakening, Vulcans must have already had interstellar flight then. Most likely the Romulan exodus was aboard a slower than light sleeper ship or generational vessel, and this date refers to the Vulcan invention of warp drive. |

The Seventh |
T'Pol says this happened 30 years ago. Note that she claimed to be too young to be one of the agents, though she was 34 at this time according to 'Zero Hour'. It may be that Vulcans of this period considered a person too young for responsibility until some time between 34 and 47, or it may be that T'Pol lied to conceal her true age. |
