-Player then jumps a bit forward to go to mexico (presumably, cuz aztecs?) where the taco was first made. Lol, wrong, Lost City (Eldorado) is said to be located in the Amazons, Brazil, not Mexico. Also, opposing to Dekagamer said, I personally think it takes place in mid 18th century, Lost City Pilots are just plot-holes just like Explorer Zombies. It should be set on Exploration Era. Well, I think it is the early 1900s, seeing as how it's biggest influences are Tarzan and Indiana Jones, which both take place in the early 1900s. I was going to write that but yes I agree. Also planes were first invented in the early 1900s so lost pilots being there also makes sense. So the order is as follows:-

Frostbite caves:- prehistory/ 40 000 years ago

Ancient egypt:- 2491 BC/ 4500 years ago

Dark ages- year 948/ 10th century (this is actually a very long period also known as the middle ages)

Pirate seas:- year 1679/ 17th century

Wild west:- year 1850/ 19th century

Lost city:- early 20th century/ 1900-1930s

Big wave beach:- 1960s/ 20th century

Neon mixtape tour:- 1980s/ 20th century

Far future:- year 2323/ 24th century

The most exciting part of this game is knowing that there is going to be another world and anticipating what the time period is going to be.

First, look at the parasol zombie, it's clearly the clothing of 18th century aristocrath women. Next, the concept. I think we can safely assume that the "Lost City" is El Dorado, because of the strong connections of both being cities of gold, being lost place that is searched for and being inside a jungle. The rumors of Eldorado were most widespread between 1500s and 1700s, all of the expeditions to find that city was made at that period, as at the middle of 19th century, it was fully dismist. There is also that heavy Exploration Era theme, which was quite over and turned into colonization of africa, oceanea & southeast asia after mid 19th century. Looking at their clothing, I'm pretty certein that the zombies of Lost City are Jesuits. While legit airships weren't a thing before 1852, the design of Zombot Aerostatic Gondola hightly resembels to airship plans made between 1650s and 1850s to turn hot air ballons into controllable flying transportation vehicles. It should also be considered that Aerostatic Gondola uses a very similar principle to Hot air ballons; sandbags, which suggets that it is a transition era vehicle. Well the parasol zombie really resembles jane from tarzan along with jane's father (crystal skull zombie). Since the world contains many references to tarzan and indiana jones, I'm assuming it takes place in the early 20th century. Aviation also became really popular in the early 1900s. Popcap bases a lot of their things on popular culture so the time period doesn't really "have to happen".

Like in big wave beach, the world is based off 60s beach party films and themes from the movies. Its not really a major event. Jungle based serials were popular in the early 1900s with themes of treasure seeking and adventure. In fact the first ever jungle based film serial was called "the lost city". Also the way John talks in the dev diary and the actual feel and music of the lost city trailers hints strongly that it's a modern exploration era.

You made interesting points about the zombot aerostatic gondola but I think the things I mentioned above really outweigh it.
