G: "So what's this then?"
O: "This - is - a - map."
T: "Not just any map, but an old map."

I: "Tests indicate that this map is around 50-70 years old."
O: "That - makes - it - an - old - map."
I: "It is a map of Earth, which is estimated to be of the Lower Epoch of the Jurassic."

T: "There's Eurasia, Laurasia, Gondwana, Panthalassa Ocean and the Tethys Sea."
I: "The detail is far greater than any of the maps of Mesozoic Era we currently have."

T: "And exactly how many of those maps were of Earth 145 million years ago?"
I: "We currently have no knowledge of the topical information of Earth millions of years ago. And yet, here we have a map that has mountain ranges, rivers, lakes and some of these landmarks have been given names."

Word: Tethys
te - thys [Geology] : the Mesozoic ocean or seaway of which the Mediterranean Sea is a greatly shrunken remnant

I found out while researching Tethys Sea that Time is separated as such; Eon, Era, Period, Epoch, Age.
