Earth timeline

In Roberta's view King's Quest was a series based on adventures that occurred centuries in the past (going from a 1992 date). As such tombstone dates in KQ4 may have been intended to represent actual dates in the history of Earth, and burials that occurred in Tamir in the past. The companion suggests they were withdrawn from earth in another time (in an interdimensional time warp) but this is never brought up in the context of KQ4 which the manual only suggests occurred in the past, and according to legends. If time travel occurred it is not clear how far the material was transferred into the past.
