Message Board)

?
===================
Cro-Magnon man exterminates the last of the Beastmen, who had been
reigning tyrranically over them. Only the Beastman leader, King
Kull, survives in an underground chamber where he lay in suspended
animation for thousands of years.
c. 8,000 BC
===================
Mary Marvel and Georgia Sivana travel through time to visit Professor
Chal-Pataun of Atlantis, shortly before the island is submerged. [Marvel Family
#10]
c. 7,000 BC?
===================
In Canaan, a young boy named Jebediah is given a magic word, VLAREM,
by the gods to become the hero named the Champion, possessing the
strength of Voldar, the wisdom of Lumiun, the speed of Arel, the power
of Ribalvei, the courage of Elbiam, and the stamina of Marzoah.
When Evil, the most dread of gods, appears, able to split into three
forms (Terror, Sin, and Wickedness),the gods send Champion to the far
future to seek the aid of his successor, Captain Marvel. Together, they
defeat Evil and his servants, the Seven Sins. The Champion and Captain
Marvel imprison Evil and, in the process, create the Rock of Eternity.
For 3,000 years as Jebediah grows older, until the gods he knew were
forgotten by all save himself, he becomes a great wizard, taking the
name Shazam.
A pair of space travelers, Osira and Hefnakhti, are stranded on Earth-2A
in prehistoric times. They contribute to the rise of culture in Egypt until
a rebellion fomented by a priest named Anankh results in their being captured
and mummified alive. In May 1942 Osira is awakened, and bedevils Wonder Woman
and the Justice Society before being defeated. [Wonder Woman #231]
c. 3,500 BC
===================
Captain Marvel visits 1st Dynasty Egypt from 1947 to reveal a thief who
robs the pharoah by impersonating the wizard Shazam.
c. 2,000 BC
===================
During the 12th dynasty, an evil Pharoah, misled by the false priest Mesu,
abandons the worship of Osiris and the benevolent gods and makes league with
Set. When Prince Amentep speaks out, he is thrown in jail, there receiving
from his uncle the Ibistick and becoming Ibis the Invincible. In rebellion
against the tyrannical Mesu (now known as the Black Pharoah), Taia is struck
by an arrow. Ibis places her and himself into suspended animation.
A generation later, an evil magician named Serpenotep conquers the Land of
the Nile by imprisoning the benevolent wizard that had protected the people.
Serpenotep rules tyrannically until the original Isis, posing as a servant,
sneaks past the guards and into the wizard's prison. The wizard explains that
she would be unable to free him until Serpenotep was defeated, but that he is
able to transfer some of his power into those who are worthy. Using his magic,
he causes an amulet necklace to appear around her neck, and an amulet tiara on
her head. He tells her that she now possesses the powers of the pyramid -- she
can soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command the
elements of earth and sky. The new heroine then confronts the wicked tyrant.
Serpenotep commands his snakes to entwine the young goddess, but she recites an
incantation which frees both her and the old wizard. Isis and the wizard combine
their power and encase Serpenotep in stone. For years afterwards, Isis guards
those in need, until the day finally came that she passes on. She predicts that
she would come again, in another form, to battle evil. [Isis #7]
c. 16th Century BC
===================
The aged wizard Shazam aligns himself with the Pharaohs of Egypt (or returns to
align himself, if the wizard who granted powers to Isis is in fact Shazam).
c. 15th Century BC
===================
Queen Hapshuset (Hatshepsut) rules as Egypt's first and only female pharaoh.
Thanks to his powerful magic, the old wizard still lives, and serves as her
royal sorcerer. Sensing greatness in her, the wizard presents the Queen with
the mystical amulet. He tells Hapshuset that she and her descendants would be
endowed by the goddess Isis with great powers. Upon donning the amulet and
invoking the name of the goddess, Hapshuset is transformed into an avatar of
Isis. After her death, the wizard takes the amulet and hides it, along with a
scroll which explains the secrets of Isis. He casts a spell, designed to lure
one of the Queen's worthy descendants to the site, so that the power of Isis
could be rediscovered in some future era. [Isis #7]
1290 BC
===================
Rameses II assumes the throne of Egypt. Shazam, attempted to find a deputy
to take his place, chooses Teth-Adam whom he grants the powers of six Egyptian
gods, turning him into Mighty Adam. He gifts him with the stamina of Shu, the
strength of Hershef (or Harsaphes), the power of Amon, the wisdom of Zehuti
(or Thoth), the speed of Anpu (or Anubis), and the courage of Menthu (or Mont).
[note: post-Crisis the arrangement is slightly different: the stamina of Shu,
the swiftness of Heru, the strength of Amon, the wisdom of Zehuti, the power of
Aton, and the courage of Mehen.]
1260 BC
===================
Mighty Adam arranges major peace treaty with Hittites.
1225 BC
===================
When Rameses II dies, Shazam leaves Egypt; Mighty Adam carries on.
Teth Adam is corrupted by his power, and is renamed Black Adam by Shazam, who
exiles him to the farthest reaches of the universe. The wizard resolves to do
as the old gods had done, and choose a boy, not a man. Merenptah is made Pharao
h.
Shazam journeys to Greece and Rome during their heroic ages, becoming friends
with the gods Aurora, Mercury, Minerva, Oggar, Selena, Zephyrus (according to th
e
Akkadian culture of Iraq, thought to be the world's first empire, the wind-gods
were androgynes, bearing both male and female aspects) and Zeus; the Titan Atlas
;
and the heroes Achilles, Ariadne, Hercules, and Hippolyta.
Another wizard by the name of Duh journeys to Greece and Rome during their
heroic ages, becoming friends with the philosopher Dumbosthenes, the wannabe
hero Uloussies, and the extremely lesser god Hopelesscules. [Bizarro Comics]
mid 14th century BC
===================
Under the reign of Amenhotep IV, the worship of the gods of Egypt wanes.
This leads the gods to turn their attentions elsewhere, leaving the people
to follow their own paths. It is at this time that the spacecraft of an alien
named Aten is damaged and forced to land on Egypt's sands. All fear him save
for the brave king. Amenhotep shows Aten his civilization and evidence of his
gods. But Aten sees no sign of the gods themselves. He observes that they had
been there, then left, leaving the people to dry up and die. Aten believes he
was their salvation. Amenhotep changed his name to Akhenaten in the alien's
honor. He and his wife, Queen Nofretete, proclaim Aten their new god -- and his
fiery ship the Chariot of the Sun. The people still believe in the old gods,
but Akhenaten, Nofretete, and Aten maintain the new way. The alien tecahes them
much, and they teach him about the power of the ancient gods and their pyramids.
Aten remains in Egypt for nearly two decades, until Akhenaten dies. The alien
believes that the people will soon revolt in favor of the old gods. Aten knows
it is time to leave, but before he does, he plants a signal device to warn him
if the gods ever did return. He returns to his home planet, but is surprised
when the High Council banishes him for interfering with the development of a
primitive world. Remembering the pyramids, from which the Egyptian gods had
derived their power, Aten crosses the void back to Earth to seek revenge on
those in the Council. He remains in orbit around the planet, until such a time
as one of the gods again accesses the power of the pyramids. [Isis #5]
c. 10th Century BC
===================
Shazam meets with King Solomon of Israel. He has by now taken the name Shazamo
.
An evil magician named Scarab terrorizes Egypt until he is captured and impriso
ned
in a pyramid, where it was believed he would remain forever. In October 1976 AD,
archeologists move the pyramid, enabling the magician to escape. The heroine kno
wn
as Isis is able to trick Scarab in becoming trapped in the pyramid once again. T
his
time his imprisonment would be permanent. [Isis #1]
1st century BC
=============================
When Achilles and Solomon are long dead, Shazamo summons their spirits to join
Zeus, Mercury, Atlas, Hercules and Oggar to do good in the world. Oggar, the
god of magic, rebels and turns evil. Shazamo drives all the bad gods from
earth, including Oggar and Satyr. Shazamo defeats Oggar with the help of the
gods, banishing him and with one blow striking the "O" from the name on his
marble throne, from that moment on referring to himself again as Shazam. As
Oggar melts away to nothingness, in his parting words before vanishing completel
y,
he angrily swears that he will return one day to seek revenge against the wizard
and the gods. Shazam realises that Oggar was immortal whose strength would
eventually renew itself and that one day he would break out of his temporary
state of nonexistence. During council with the gods, Shazam sets up an elaborat
e
plan, under which it is decided that each of the gods and heroes would pass thei
r
individual powers into one mortal of a distant era, a champion capable of opposi
ng
the evil god of magic. [Captain Marvel Adventures #61-66]

rich and giving their spoils to the downtrodden poor. At this time a young
slave named John is shot in the leg by his cruel master. Nearly unconscious
from pain and bloodloss, John finds refuge with the local wizard. When John
recovers, he tells the old man what he overheard: his former master, the
Sheriff of Nottingham, has set a death trap for King Richard, returning
from the Crusades. John escaped to find Robin Hood and tell him about the
trap, but due to his injury, he would never reach the outlaw in time. The
wizard finds another messenger in the mists of time: Freddy Freeman. Freddy
is told why he was sent for, and becomes Captain Marvel Jr. and flies John
to Sherwood, where he can warn Robin about the Sheriff's plan. Robin sees no
way to get to the king in time, so Junior tells him and his men to link hands.
They do, and the World's Mightiest Boy grabs Robin's and takes off flying to
where the king is. They find King Richard being attacked by brigands, and set
about dispatching them and defeating the Sheriff. Later, King Richard pardons
Robin Hood and his men, and gives young John a reward for saving his life. "I
