I assume it was the fourth or third age before the first age because time is a wheel. But what ended the fourth age, and how did the first age start.

I assume there was a battle between the Dark One and the good. And the good won. These battles that repeat themselves etc.

If we assume that "randland" is Earth in the future. Could a nuclear war have destroyed so much nobody remembered much about it. However there where mutations which gave rise to Ogiers, wolfmen, genes that gave some humans the ability to use the powers.

In rebuilding things during the first age they found technology that they altered with the help of their newfound power and soon most lived good lives and forgot about the last age? And that is why they did not know where the Dark One's prison was.

We see things that reminds of helicopters and other things when Rand go through that thingy in the Aiel desert that I forgot the name of.

My rambling is done.
