Notes on the frames:
Frame 1: Primary rainbows that are caused by droplets in air always center on the antisolar point, but in this frame, the rainbow centers on the solar point. This is intended, as this rainbow is Celestia’s rainbow. It was caused not by refraction, but a process that is best explained as “magical luminescence”.
Frame 2: The house they built was a long house, for its simple practicality. It was covered with straw and strutted with quick-growing bamboo.
Fun fact: the world’s fastest growing bamboo can grow 1 meter/day.
Later constructions involved sod for better thermal insulation. This house did not contain sod, because this early in the Rebirth Age, there was not enough soil.
Soil forms at a rate of about 1 mm/year. Even with accelerated soil formation, it would take about a century for most ecosystems in Equestria to recover somewhat of their former glory.
Celestia and Luna recreated creatures of many different kinds. In this frame, one griffon and two ponies are shown. At first, these creatures were very basic in intelligence, and could not survive or reproduce on their own. It took several centuries of hard work before they found the secret of reproduction. And the creation of souls was an even later development.
Both of these events will be detailed in a following comic.
