So there are a few things I'm unsure of when it comes to the timeline of the show, specifically what year it is now that we know Hyperion Heights residents were sent back in time,

I found a timeline that someone compiled showing most of the events of the show. However, it has not been updated since partway through the Underworld arc, so anything after those events is not listed and unclear. The last event mentioned is Hades forcing Hook to decide who will stay in the Underworld in place of the souls that were freed. This timeline places that event on August 23, 2013.

So what year was it on the show in Storybrooke at the end of Season 6, and what year did everyone time travel back to when Hyperion Heights was created?

Another thing that the timeline mentions (and that was shown in flashbacks) Is that Storybrooke came into existence in 1983, with this timeline placing it on October 22-23 (the day Emma was born). Now here's where I get confused. Clearly by the styles of dress, architecture, and technoolgy (or lack thereof) in the Enchanted Forest, implies that most events that occured there prior to the curse happened in medieval times/Middle Ages.

There doesn't seem to be any way it could have been 1983 in the Enchanted Forest when the Curse hit and engulfed Snow's Castle. Is it possible that those events (and many of the events involving Cora and Hook) actually did occur in medieval times, and the First Curse also used time travel, but sent them forward in time to 1983, or was it actually 1983 in the EF when the First Curse happened, and everything there is just very outdated?

But then I also question, if it's true and everything occured in the Middle Ages, why did the curse choose to place them in 1983 specifically? Because even before the Curse happened, Cruella, Ursula, Lily, Ingrid and Baelfire all arrived in The Land Without Magic in various points throughout history (Cruella, Ursula, and Lily also seemed to arrive in 1983; Ingrid's arrival year is never stated, and Baelfire arrives in England around 1858-1860) so why did the curse choose 1983, if it wasn't 1983 already?
