Well, since\nthe time of the Conciliator to the narration of the books is like the\ntime of Jesus to the present (between 1000 and 2000 describes the\npresent) maybe he was being metaphoric when he said that he had always\nthought of it as being like between those times, comparing it to what\nwe have experienced.  Or he may have been confused at the time when\nthinking about how he intended the metaphorical correlation.\n\nIn the books, the time period is given as \"thirty thousand years\" by\nAgia, and \"many chiliads\" by Severian.  They could be wrong, but this\nwould be plenty of time for the mountains to be carved, and be in tune\nwith the action in the book and mantis' timeline.\n\nprion"
