Pyramids dates itself to the Century of the Cobra (i.e. well over a century before the present) and there isn't much to connect it to the Century of the Fruitbat. The point that Djelibeybi participated in the expedition to subdue Omnia suggests that the story probably predates Small Gods; under Dios they wouldn't likely have emerged from their private universe. However, the faculty of the College of Assassins contains members still found in the C. of the F. and even the Anchovy (e.g.Mericet and Cruces.)
Since the place had been re-cycling time for 7000 years, perhaps it has local anomalies in addition to the general problems of Discworld history, or maybe nobody really knows what time it is any more. Even Dios admitted he didn't remember events, just the rituals. --Old Dickens 15:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
