I'm surprised nobody mentioned this but what's the significance of the year 845? Why that number and not year 100 or something like that?

Because we're talking memory wipes, it's entirely possible, especially alluded to by Zeke's monologue, that the world might be in a cycle where a wall people vs homelander war happens several times over a period of 845 years, a new 'first king' comes along, and then memory wipes everyone and starts the cycle all over again.

Or not... but my point is that with memory wipes, anything is possible.

I'll just remind everyone that at no point in this entire series have we seen a single landmark that corresponds to landmarks on Earth. The fact that they never show us any sort of landmarks that relate to present-day Earth makes you wonder if there's any trace of any landmark or some form of science and technology beyond the reach of the Titans.

And something of this sort does seem possible if that's where they went with it long ago. It'd be no different from "The Matrix" where every few decades or maybe over a century or so, the Machines destroy Zion and the Matrix is rebooted. They did it at least five times before the first film and tried to do it again in the second and third films.

Of course, that's only if they're going that way.
