I was going through the WH40K-wiki timeline and it says there's a time M3-M15 known to Imperial historians as "Age Of Progress" before the DAoT M15-M29.

It said there were some understanding of the Warp in the AoP and that the Iron Men were starting to be used in the DAoT. I think the biggest question-mark is why the Imperial historians would call something "Age Of Progress", I mean I know about the outlaw of witty AIs and such... I've just been under the impression humanity had a time of great advancement that lead to these Iron Men and it was all called DAoT / GAoT. It seem somewhat strange they could draw such a clear line when the technology became dangerous?

I think one big difference was that during the DAoT humanity started worshiping technology as a god, still no reference to mark that really as a line at M15?

Because in the "Age Of Progress" we still have inventing things and progress. In "Dark Age of Technology" I guess that is when we invented almost everything and just start using things. Then AI war came, than Fall of Eldar...

Interesting. I did not know there was an Age of Progress. I thought that was the DAOT, which represents what the Imperiurm views as dark - deep seated constant technological advancement and expansion.
