The current interval of the geochronological scale, which scientists use to date the history of the Earth, remained unnamed until recently, but now the modern geological age has nevertheless received a name. We live, according to scientists, in the Meghalay age.
According to the International Commission on Stratigraphy, the Meghalay Age began 4,200 years ago and continues into our time. More precisely, the Meghalay age refers to the Holocene era, which, in turn, is part of the Quaternary (anthropogenic) period of the Cenozoic era.
Well, the Cenozoic era, if someone does not know, is included in the Phanerozoic eon. As you can see, everything is pretty simple. In general, if some, say, time travelers are interested in your interval of the geochronological scale ("What is the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic era? So, approximately, can you feel it?"), Then you now know what to answer them.
The Holocene epoch, as experts specify, began to be divided into separate centuries only recently. Accordingly, the Holocene is now divided into the Greenlandic, Northern Grippian and Meghalay ages. The latter began with a massive drought that lasted for about two hundred years and seriously affected humanity.
