Timeline of events (pre-Celestia/Luna Rift)

[Forlong 1,726]

I'm working on constructing a show timeline and want to have some good baselines.  I thought it would be best to start with the events from 1000 years ago and the rise of Celestia and Luna.  Events underlined are cemented by information from the show itself.  Italicized events are evident in supplementary material.  Events that I have nether underlined or italicized are positioned by my speculation.

 

1. Founding of Equestria
2. Tartarus is created
3. Celestia and Luna appointed Princesses
4. Discord challenges Celestia and Luna and they take the Elements of Harmony to defeat him
5. Lord Tirek fails to take over Equestria and sent to Tartarus
6. Celestia and Luna confiscate the Inspiration Manifestation and hide it away in their castle
7. Celestia and Luna become the duel monarchs of Equestria
8. Star Swirl and Celestia explore the multiverse and discover a mirror universe
9. King Sombra takes over the Crystal Empire and is defeated by Celestia and Luna
10. Luna falls to the Nightmare Forces and becomes Nightmare Moon
11. The EUP is formed
12. Celestia continues to visit the mirror universe until Star Swirl seals the portal

How is that?  I think I covered all the major points.

Actually, in the very beginning, Discord had already made Equestria the Chaos capital.
