According research by the
Masters of the Mystic Arts, the
Time Stone is believed to have first arrived on
Earth around 27,000 years ago.
How it came to be here is unknown, though a
Kree study on alien contact with Earth (conducted as part of the
Primagen experiments) suggests that the Plodex visited Earth during the Upper Paleolithic (but were repelled by the Eternals), which would be approximately the correct time period. How the Plodex might have come into possession of the Stone is unknown, however.
