Dolores was created by Arnold about 37 years before the main events of "Westworld" season one.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Westworld" season two, episode nine, "Vanishing Point."

HBO\'s "Westworld" takes place over the course of at least 37 or so years. While fans believe they\'ve discovered the exact year in the future we\'re seeing (2052), HBO hasn\'t made this revelation official yet.

But even without an exact year, audiences are able to deduce the approximate placement of events based on context clues and exposition between Ford and other characters on the first season.

To help "Westworld" fans better understand the events that have led up to the current season, INSIDER has put together a chronological timeline.

The events are marked to indicate whether the scene was featured on season one or season two (either through expository dialogue or in a flashback/flash forward) as well as which episode the revelation appeared on.

Since this is not an official HBO-issued timeline, know that some events (or their placement) are subject to change based on new episodes.

We\'ll update this timeline and the approximate year guesses each week as the second season progresses.

This version of the timeline reflects events from season two, episode nine, "Vanishing Point."

Two weeks ago, we changed the last time frame to "11 days after Ford\'s death" thanks to a new revelation on the Delos Destinations Intranet website. If you go into the chat bot and select "Restore From Previous Backup B," the site says it\'s been 11 days since the "initial breach" by the time Karl Strand\'s Delos team arrives to the park.

But now we know that this "initial breach" was actually at about the same time Dolores attacked the Ghost Nation group. If you\'re still confused, read our breakdown of the episode here.

Our timeline will now also indicate events we\'ve added since the last version (highlighted in light teal). See the full timeline below:

The "Westworld" timeline as of season two, episode nine, "Vanishing Point."

As we noted above, it\'s possible certain placements of events aren\'t in official order or not entirely correct in their description (since names like Bernard and Arnold might become interchangeable). But as more is revealed, we\'ll adapt and update the timeline.
