It took 284 years after Columbus ‘discovered America in 1492 for the Europeans to get to Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. It took another 169 years to get from Jamestown to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and another 250 years to get to today which is the end of history and the present. 1492, 1607, 1776, 2026. Thats four dates; 284, 169, and 250 years between them. Not a very rapid advance. In fact, a very slow set of achievements with numerous failures in between the successes. .
