Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
The dates are changed to fit it in. After all, since in Nasu Canon, Babylon is a super civilization, it's not too much of a stretch to fit in a barbaric age right after that.
That's like me changing the dates of Final Fantasy 7 so i can make Servant Cloud Strife in this thread instead of the modern fiction one.
I use cloud as an example because i've seen it done.

That reminds me. I've always wondered; is Gil the first hero in the chronological sense of being the first to have ever lived, or just the first to have their legend recorded? Because if the latter, you could theoretically have heroes who came from a time period before Gilgamesh, so long as their legends weren't recorded until after (if you assume the legend essentially 'creates' the hero). I've always assumed the latter given how important 'legend' is in Nasuverse, but I don't recall ever reading canonical confirmation either way.
In any case, it's interesting to think about.
Something something concepts. Like, there are legends that predate the Epic of Gilgamesh, but in TM lore Gil was something special and then I can't remember the rest.
Gil's dad has legends that predate his.

Fairly certain the Earth was still cooling right before Gil took charge according to Nasu. As in evolution never happened to fit in with Big J's death being the end of the Age of Gods.
I know because I was contemplating a sheet on the Australopithecus Lucy
Writing things down is a MAGICAL and IMPORTANT thing in fiction because fiction is written by authors and authors like to wank themselves. Source: I read Stephen King
Just like how GOB holds all the prototypes for every Noble Phantasm.
Gilgamesh is the prototype of all Heroic Spirits.

Extella is a thing. There's actually a lot of human history that happened before Gil.
Furthermore Gil's reign signifies the beginning of the end of the most recent AOG.

...I don't think that really answers my question. I mean, you could just as well say that before Gil, there were people who did exceptional deeds but weren't 'Heroic Spirits' (capital H) until Gil came around and invented the concept, thereby cementing himself as primary and retroactively turning all prior heroes into capital H ones.
...Thinking about all this is confusing.

Huh. I've been trying to steer clear of Extella lore until the English stuff comes out but that's good to know.
Did Jesus' death mark the end of the Age of Gods? Where are you getting this? I mean, it sounds vaguely plausible but I don't recall any official statement of such. If anything, it was Solomon's death that accelerated the end of the Age of Gods.
I wasn't trying to answer the question.
I was giving you a summary of the statements so you can draw your own conclusion. As those statement lead to a question that can be argued either way.

It would correspond to his birth, not death, since the "official" end of the AoG is the BC-AD transition.
...... You've got to be kidding me.
That is an interesting Idea.....
Noooooooo, that's not how it works at all.

Ah, so I was right in thinking that there's no clear confirmation either way and it's a matter of what one personally believes to be most plausible.
Alrighty then!
Infinite quote recursion.
Also, what the Hell is going on with all the repeat posts above me?
Gil is specifically the oldest heroic spirit, so there shouldn't be any dating back to time periods before him, at least.
