The image is just a diagram of the history of life on Earth and it's hard to see what it's about at wikisize. Even at a clearer size, I don't think life would be a good way to demonstrate "something of inconceivable age".

Yes, that's a pretty good way of showing "something of inconceivable age".

Did I think something wrong? Because if everyone else votes the opposite option, I'd just be cowardly and withdraw.

I'm going to go against the grain and say I don't like the current. I can't even make out what it's supposed to be

There's an amazing series in Gunnerkrigg Court starting here that shows the character Jones in various time periods going back from the day before to the Hadean eon. Problem is, I dunno how we could make a good collage pic from them.

[up][up][up] [tup] For the image, [tdown] for the caption. I think the picture is obvious enough without it.

For a caption, maybe “Some people just take a few billenia to wake up in the morning, okay?”

13 FTW; nice work. [tup] I'm good without a caption.

13 is pretty good.[tup]

13's pretty good; just swap with "Millennia ago" per [up].

EDIT: On second thought, I think we can make it a 2x2 by cutting out "the previous epoch" as nothing in that image points to any particular time period.

[up] I think that panel is supposed to represent the last ice age.

[up][up] Yeah, that's during one of the Ice Ages and the overall look of it sells it to me. I'm fine with 13 as is, but if we want to make it 2x2, the last one could go.
