MCU Timeline: Doctor Strange

Thousands of years ago:

The Father of the Mystic Arts and the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto, creates a relic, the Eye of Agamotto, to house the Time Stone within.

He also builds three Sanctums in places of power (modern Hong Kong, London and New York), which together create a protective shield around the Earth.

Agamotto founds an order of sorcerers to protect the Sanctums -the Masters of the Mystic Arts.

Centuries ago - a Celtic woman who would become known as the Ancient One is born. She becomes a sorcerer and then the Sorcerer Supreme. Over the next centuries, she draws energy from the Dark Dimension to stay alive and protect reality from mystical threats until she can pass on her mantle to the next Sorcerer Supreme.

June 20, 1974 - Jonathan Pangborn is born.

Early December 2014 - Pangborn breaks his neck and is left paralyzed from the chest down with partial paralysis in both arms.

2015-2016 - Pangborn travels to Kamar-Taj in hopes of healing his injury. He studies the mystical arts until he learns to use his own magic to restore the lost function of his nervous system.

~November 2015:

In Kamar-Taj, Master Kaecilius and his zealots kill the librarian and steal pages from the Book of Cagliostro.

Master Wong becomes a librarian at Kamar-Taj.

Why November 2015: apparently it's somewhere between November 2015 and March 2016. To narrow it down, we can look at the portal Kaecilius escaped through. The location is likely in the central or northern US, and while the trees are bare, like in London, the lawn is green. That leaves us with November.

January 2016 - neurosurgeon Stephen Strange receives an award for his spinal fusion surgery.

End of January/February 1, 2016 - Stephen Strange speaks to WHIH Newsfront about new lifesaving medical techniques.

February 2, 2016:

~9:15 am - at Metro General Hospital, Strange finishes his surgery and helps Dr. Christine Palmer save her patient with a bullet in the brain.

~6 pm - Stephen Strange gets into a car accident on his way to the Neurological Society dinner.

~10 pm - Strange is found and taken to Metro General.

~11 pm, February 2 - 10 am, February 3 - he undergoes 11-hour surgery on his injured hands.

~Afternoon, February 3, 2016 - Stephen wakes up to find that he has permanent nerve damage to his hands.

~April 2016:

Surgery to remove external fixators.

Few days later - Dr. Palmer removes the bandages from his hands.

Late April - Strange meets with other surgeons to discuss his options, and asks them to try to speed up the healing of his hands with another surgery.

April - December 2016 - Strange undergoes rehabilitation and tries every method to restore the function of his hands, spending his entire fortune on a total of 7 procedures.

~May - he undergoes the surgery to place a stent in his radial artery.

~Summer 2016 - Stephen's physical therapist tells him that he saw one of his former patients, who was thought to be paralyzed, walking and promises to provide him with his file.

September/October 2016 - Stephen is rejected by his French colleague and takes his anger out on Christine. Offended, she leaves him.

November/December 2016:

Strange receives Pangborn's file from his physical therapist.

He meets Pangborn, who tells him about the place where he was healed - Kamar-Taj.

January 11, 2017 (Wednesday):

With his last money, Strange travels to Nepal in search of Kamar-Taj.

2:47 pm - he is attacked by local bandits, but is saved by the master of mystic arts Mordo.

3 pm - Mordo takes him to Kamar-Taj. The Ancient One shows Stephen the multiverse, then throws him back out on the street.

8 pm - five hours later, Mordo "convinces" the Ancient One to accept Strange into the order.

Morning, January 12, 2017 - Stephen Strange begins his training in the mystic arts.

Winter 2017 - Kaecilius successfully deciphers the stolen pages, and he and his zealots contact Dormammu. The ruler of the Dark Dimension gives Kaecilius the power to fold matter outside the Mirror Dimension.

End of January 2017:

Strange meets Wong when he brings finished books to the library.

During a lesson on portals, the Ancient One sends Strange to Mount Everest and leaves him there until he creates a portal to return to Kamar-Taj before he dies of hypothermia.

January 12 - November 2, 2017 - Stephen Strange studies the mystic arts in Kamar-Taj.

October 2017:

Stephen shaves his beard, leaving a goatee.

He tells Wong about Beyoncé.

And then steals books from him through portals while the librarian gets acquainted with the singer’s work.

Stephen learns astral projection and the Ancient One teaches him how to use the Mirror Dimension.

November 1, 2017:

Mordo teaches him how to fight and tells him about Kaecilius and the relics.

~3 am, Nov 2 (Nepal) - in an empty library, Strange studies the Book of Cagliostro, the book of time. He takes the Eye of Agamotto to practice the spell and restore the stolen pages of the book.

Before he can break reality, he is stopped by Mordo and Wong, who tell him of the dangers of playing with time. They then finally tell Strange of the Order's purpose.

Kaecilius and his zealots attack the Sanctum in London and kill its master as he attempts to escape to Kamar-Taj through the door connected to it.

The blast from Kaecilius' spell sends Stephen flying through another door, into the New York Sanctum.

Kaecilius and his zealots come to the Sanctum and kill Daniel Drumm, its master.

Strange fights them.

They break the Cloak of Levitation display case. Levi bonds with Strange and helps him fight, but one of the zealots manages to stab Strange in the chest.

7:10 pm, Nov 1 (NYC)/4:10 am, Nov 2 (Nepal) - Stephen opens a portal to Metro General, where Christine saves him while he, in astral form, fights the zealot and kills him with Christine's help.

Note: While the day and month on this monitor appear to be accurate, the year is not. It couldn't be 2016 for several reasons. Here are the main ones: 1) Strange's accident happened in February 2016. He has undergone 7 surgeries. It would take him a whole year. 2) He needed enough time to study the mystic arts up to that point. Almost a year sounds about right. Add that to the time from point 1.

~8 pm - Strange returns to the Sanctum to find that Kaecilius has escaped.

The Ancient One arrives and makes Stephen the master of the New York Sanctum.

He refuses to be a warrior and tells her and Mordo that he knows how she has lived so long - by drawing power from the Dark Dimension.

Kaecilius and his zealots return to the Sanctum. Strange opens the Mirror Dimension, and he and Mordo have to flee from Kaecilius, who overpowers them in this Dimension.

The Ancient One comes to the rescue and fights Kaecilius, but he wounds her and she falls from a skyscraper outside the Mirror Dimension.

9:30 pm - Strange and Mordo follow her, and Stephen takes her to the Metro General ER.

The Ancient One and Strange talk in their astral bodies about the meaning of life and that it is time for her to go. She dies on the operating table during the first snow.

Same time, 9:30 am, Nov 2 (Hong Kong) - Kaecilius and the two remaining zealots arrive at the final Sanctum and battle Wong and the other sorcerers. Kaecilius defeats them and brings Dormammu to Earth.

Note: This is probably the most ridiculous time difference mistake Marvel has made. When it's 9:30 PM in New York, it's 9:30 AM in Hong Kong. And 9 AM doesn't look like that at all. Marvel forgot about the time difference and just made it the same time as New York. By the way, they didn't forget about the time difference between Nepal and New York before that. How are we going to fix this? There are 3 options: 1) Hong Kong was already absorbed into the Dark Dimension before Kaecilius arrived there. Lol. 2) Kaecilius folded reality so that the city ended up in the same time zone as New York. 3) Open our minds and imagine that this is actually daytime.

~10 pm - Christine and Stephen have a moment in the operating room.

November 2 (Hong Kong and Nepal), 2017:

~8 am (Nepal)/~10:15 am (Hong Kong) - Stephen gives Mordo a pep talk and they head off to fight Kaecilius at the Hong Kong Sanctum.

They arrive to find that the Sanctum has fallen and Dormammu has already begun to consume the city.

Strange uses the Time Stone to reverse the damage and resurrect Wong.

Kaecilius breaks the spell, so the damage to the Sanctum is not completely reversed, and Dormammu continues to consume the Earth.

Strange figures out how to defeat him and goes to the Dark Dimension to trick him with a time loop.

After countless iterations of "Dormammu, I've come to bargain", Dormammu finally gives in and leaves Earth, taking Kaecilius and his zealots with him.

Strange completes the restoration of the Sanctum.

Mordo leaves the Order.

Days later, November 2017:

The damage to Kamar-Taj has been repaired.

Strange returns the Eye of Agamotto to where he took it until he can master its power.

Wong informs him that there is an Infinity Stone inside of it.

Months later, ~May 2018 - Mordo comes to Jonathan Pangborn and takes away his magic, leaving him paralyzed.

Why it's most likely May 2018: It's unlikely that the Pangborn incident would have gone unnoticed by Strange. He would have immediately started looking for Mordo. At the same time, Mordo would have been hunting down other sorcerers and causing panic among them. That doesn't seem to be what happened. What seems to have happened is that the sorcerers had more important things to do immediately after the incident. Including Mordo. And that something is most likely The Snap in (as far as I know at the moment) May 2018. "Many months" from November 2017 fits that well.
