“Seven or Eight Periods of Nasphiliti History”
Abstract
What follows is a compilation or sinopsis of events related to chronology of "Nasphilitae" on all matters of domestic nature. There is no absolute consensus among scholars regarding the periodisation, or headtitling of, clear temporal divisions in observing chronology to the reference of Nasphilitae. Compromise, yet, does exist, as shown in textbooks of the basic educations & in the minds of its inhabitants, which refer to these slices colloquially.
As it may serve as an element of surprise, this title is not descriptive of a polemic, which is to say that the discussion does not hold the property of whether there are seven or eight periods, distinct & clear.
Subject && Henceforth Goal is to display, in short, most noteworthy events, as they've unfolded, in chronological order.
"Century", colloquially, is all but not in equivalence to its astronomic lex - that of one hundred solar years. It is, in the context of past chronology, referring to the following: "Length of [past] time, which is signified & memorised for a particular sentiment, associated [presumed] to have impacted all [social] life to extent which transcends all other sentiments and/or events which might coincide, by time, with which the 'Century' is termed after". Within them [Centuries], only those events and peoples and documents, whose properties are without much disagreement will be mentioned.

The Peak (1851-1927):
