[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Extreme nerd knowledge: The events of Dune take place around the year 10,191. (That's the year Leto is killed and Alia born.) Their calendar explicitly begins with the creation of the Spacing Guild monopoly, (dates prior to this are labeled B.G., for Before Guild; for instance, the Butlerian Jihad itself, which took place between 201 B.G. and 108 B.G.) which came about in the wake of the Jihad. Thus, ten thousand plus years. I don't think this is ever really spelled out in the novels, but the (intentionally untrustworthy in some areas) Dune Encyclopedia suggests that the Butlerian Jihad itself occured somewhere around 10,000 CE, placing the events of Dune some twenty thousand years in the future.
