#7 The Prize - Nikipedia 10.04.2022 2:25 ↓

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

#6 “The Sphinx” 27.10.2020 1:32 ↓

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.

An account on (one of the ways) humans came to form a written/spoken language and how directionality can plays into our conceptualised sense of time, between East-West cultures..
