1943, If— by Rudyard Kipling (of Jungle Book fame)

Things fall apart, but in “The second coming” by WB Yates, is the reference about [ethereal] civilisations? We’ve had historical continuity for two or three Millennia. Perhaps a narrative of saviour emblems helps to create that stability.

Another historically significant artefact I decided to highlighted from the 'repeating year series' -- published in 1313 Nong Shu has the claim for the world's first mass-produced book, pre-dating "The Bible" printed using Guttenburg's Press in the 15th Century.

In serendipitous fashion I looked up what happened in the year 1212 and picked something that caught my eye. Is 808 years considered ancient for a text? This short book is still studied in Japan by school students.
