the 

Silver Millenium...

Randland is the unofficial nickname of the world in which the Wheel of
Time series is set.  The series itself never tells us what its 

inhabitants

actually call their world.

Twofold hypothesis:
1. The time in which Sailor Moon is known as Neo Queen Serenity took 
place in the 30th century. This was establish in the series when 

Sailor 

Hai.

Moon and the Soldiers went to Reenie's present. (Watch for the 13 new 

SM 

episodes coming to the U.S. this fall, we here in Canada have already 
seen 'em, eh?) So it could be extrapolated that the original Silver 
Millenium took place about 1000 AD, our calenders(of course). This is 
subtantiated because...

While the Dub says a thousand years, I believe that in the original, 

it's

supposed to be about 25,000 years ago.  Although I may be imagining 

that.

Yeah, and in the manga Beryl may not have even existed in the Silver 
Millenium. (i.e. all the work being done by Metallia) But that's just 
nit-picking. Our NA version of Sailor Moon may have a few shortcomings 
but it's still a pretty cool series. (Even if the Japanese version of 
the final confrontation with Beryl *was* two episodes.)
