If you want to make use of it, you should be able to make a copy of the spreadsheet on your own Google drive (and maybe download a copy, I'm not sure). As it's quite fragile, I'm keeping the original as view-only so it doesn't break.

Fun fact: when the AAm timescale for the ages before the Trees is used, the dates used in NoME XIII.3 & VII require the Days of Bliss to begin before the world was created.

Damn, you weren't kidding about your love of spreadsheets!

But, as someone who doesn't speak spreadsheet all that well - any chance you could put the actual or calculated AAm YT vs later NoME VY side by side? I.e. the Awaking of the Elves in the AAm is YT 1050, but (depending on the text), say, 850 VY in the NoME, and the death of the Trees is YT 1495 in the AAm but VY 888 in the NoME - adjusting for the difference in the Valian years (144 in NoME vs 9.582 in AAm), how would the adjusted ('flat-world') AAm timeline look like?
