The Ten CommandmentsThe periods the archive counts as part of the Bronze Age. Their titles are gathered on this page where they are set inside its boundaries. The number represents how many titles in these sub-periods are also directly attached to this period and how many are just inherited rather being directly tagged with the Bronze Age.
Every title set during the Bronze Age, by the decade it came out. A series is placed on the chart by its first season and counts as one title entity.

Movement
An Ancient Egyptian religion that controversially came to prominence under the reign of Akhenaten of the New Kingdom's 18th Dynasty. Perhaps its most notable trait was a singular focus of cult worship on the Aten, represented by the image of the solar disk. As the monotheistic (or henotheistic) state religion of Egypt under Akhenaten, Atenism resulted in the suppression of the traditional Egyptian pantheon until Akhenaten's death in turn restored the traditional pantheon and led to the end of Atenism.

Event
The story of the flight of the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt as described by the Pentateuch. The precise basis for the story may be an amalgamation of events from the end of the Bronze Age, though generally speaking, historical consensus dismisses the conventional telling as largely non-historical.

Every place the archive’s titles set in this period name, with each one nested under the larger place it sits inside where that place is here too. The number is how many titles set here name it.
No title set here has been given a saltiness score yet. That is unrated, which is not the same as accurate.
57%4 of the 7 titles the archive sets between 3300 BCE and 1200 BCE carry the Bronze Age tag.

This measure can help illustrate cinematic hotspots within a time period by comparing which years of the overarching, actual historical time period are backed up by a cinematic release.
15 years on the timeline fall inside the boundaries, 8 of them with nothing set there yet. The dark part of each bar is the share carrying this period; the lighter part beside it, the share carrying one of its sub-periods instead.
Films only. Co-directors are counted individually, so a director’s solo work and their collaborations are grouped together. Average saltiness ignores any title still unsalted.
Part of and part of it are declared by the archive: one period counted as belonging to another, whatever their dates. Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.
