The End of the Current European-American Epoch According to Rudolf Steiner. Anthroposophy has its own concept of history: according to Rudolf Steiner, our current era falls within the post-Atlantean period, since in his view, the disaster that supposedly struck Atlantis in 7227 BC was a significant turning point in human history. Steiner divides this post-Atlantean period into seven epochs, the current one being the European-American Epoch.
