The history of Hollywood is comprised of the remnants of multiple timelines, rearranged and collapsed together in the wake of the Big One. The inherently contradictory and anachronistic nature of such a combined history makes it hard to document accurately. For instance: certain historical figures tragically died young after living for over a century, new discoveries were invalidated by ones made decades before, and .
Hollywood uses its own calendar out of necessity, due to temporal irregularities such as 1954 occurring nine separate times across a thirty year span. Everything prior to the Big One is BBO (Before Big One), and everything after is AH (Anno Hollywood, or more informally, Age of Hollywood). Chronological aftershocks will shift events and rewrite minor aspects of the timeline, requiring an official realignment of the calendar to ensure that the Big One is always situated at 0 AH.
Prehistory
The allure of Hollywood as a location for the film industry predate both the film industry and humanity, suggesting some sort of unknown attraction at work. Fossilized remains have been unearthed including clapperboards, basic trailers, and even fragments of scripts. However the lack of any language or concept of the three-act structure have made these impossible to understand by modern Hollywood standards. Multiple extinction events previously undocumented seem to be based solely around the Hollywood area, possibly from stunts gone wrong or intense contract disputes.
After the arrival of humanity, early civilizations in the region gradually became just as obsessed with film-making. Coupled with the inability to actually make films, many of these civilizations collapsed, leaving behind confusing artifacts and bizarre legacies that many later civilizations struggled to understand. It was not until the arrival of American settlers that humanity could live in the area without serious issues, thanks to the complete disinterest of the settlers in any civilization but their own.
