"I think we got confused here a bit. What I think happened, is that the monsters have been continuously exploring the underground over the millenia, until one day, they had enough info and courage to move out of their old home. After all, building an entire city, plus the CORE... that couldn't have happened during the very first journey into the rest of the underground. And it also probably took more than a single year."

I already discussed why the CORE was created, rather than, you know, actual stairs? Ironically, it's actually more efficent, as the CORE gets to be hollow. (Stairs this high would probably actually collapse under their own weight.)

By the way, given the fact that Hotland is, well.. Hot.. Would it even be possible to climb up a full mile of stairs anyway?

''It wasn't Asgore's decision to found Snowdin though. So I assume he also didn't name it. The way this is described, it makes me think that these monsters made some sort of a camp first, while the rest continued with Asgore further into the underground. And later, it turned into a permanent settlement. But other than that, Snowdin is a clever name. If it was Asgore, he would name it something like "Snowtown". But even that might be too clever for him. After all, he didn't even try to make a reference to the location with the main cities. He simply called them "Home" and "New Home" respectively.''

By your logic, he couldn't have named Waterfall or Hotland either, for the exact same reason. But the monsters (except for Asgore) are too clever to name an area "Waterfall". Besides, Asgore's a fuzzy folk too. ...At least that's what Papyrus and Toriel seem to think. King Fluffybuns-The fuzzy pushover!

''Again, you can't know that. But I don't think that's the case. Gerson was a warrior, not a historian. He only became a historian due to his old age.''

They were written AFTER Gerson became a historian! (Gerson's the only one we know about that makes fun of Asgore's names. But yes, saying it was Gerson WOULD be kind of a stretch. Sure, it's more likely to be Gerson than anyone else, but..)

"Again, who said they were written all at once? The way the very first volume is written makes me think that it was describing "present-day" events, not something that happened in the past. So these volumes were most likely written by different people over the years. Monster history had many authors, that's what I'm saying. It's also more likely, more logical. Just like anything else we're discussing here."

It was all in the past tense. It wasn't present day events at all. Also, explain why Monster History 6-8 explain how the SOUL works? What does that have to do with ACTUAL HISTORY? (Other than, of course, what happened with Asriel and Chara, which is exactly what my theory says)

"And that I think proves me right. There's enough space in those books to document everything, including Chara's arrival, which would then explain volumes 4 and beyond."

We already know the reason why the humans were feared no longer. The Waterfall plaques explain it well. Why would they say a human will never come.. And still fear that a human will come? This dates the plaques after the events of Volume 4 (not to be confused with the creation of the book). At the same time, them being sure humans won't fall dates the plaques before Chara's fall. We can use transivity to say that since the Chara fell AFTER the plaques, and the plaques were written AFTER the events of Volume 4, Chara's fall ALSO happened AFTER the events of Volume 4.
