The Original StarTrek-

Timeline
For this timeline only facts (the dates were restored step by step: see source 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6) were used, which were presented during Roddenberrys lifetime
and before the strange chronology of Denise and Michael Okuda had been
written, which is the base for the new StarTrek timeline:

Million Millions or more years before the beginning of human history the
years ago moon serves as a basis of genetic research on early life-forms of
Earth for an unknown space-travelling race.
-c600.000 The Arretians colonize the known galaxy. "Six thousand centuries
ago, our vessels were colonizing this galaxy, just as your own
starships have now begun to explore that vastness." - Sargon to Cpt.
Kirk (see TOS: Assignment Earth).
-c4000 Extraterrestrials abduct a male and a female from Earth. They and
their descendants will be given generations of training to help
prevent Earth's civilization from destroying itself. (see TOS:
Assignment Earth)
far before The knowledge about stars and astronomy of human kind in the old
3500 BC days is highly developed and will be redeveloped with great effort
in later centurys. These ancient civilizations should be better named
"Mutant-Farm-Civilizations". The knowledge they have alas, was
not a result of human labour and growth, thus not their own, but
rooted in a gift.
-c2700 Earth is visited by aliens who settle in the region near Greece and
the Mediterranean sea. They will set the pattern of the Greek Gods.
(see TOS: Who Mourns for Adonais?)
-c3000 Commander Spock and Dr. McCoy are trapped in the Ice Age on

through time by the Atavachron. Vulcans are... before Surak... (see

they monitor the Neutral Zone established by treaty after the Earth-
Romulan conflict a century ago. As you may recall, this conflict
was fought, by standards today, with primitive atomic weapons and
in primitive space vessels which allowed no quarter, no captives,
nor was there even ship-to-ship visual communication. [...] The
treaty, set by sub-space radio, established this Neutral Zone, entry
into which by either side would constitute an act of war. The treaty
has been unbroken since that time." (2264)
