Vulcan mythology stated that all creation arose from a place known as Sha Ka Ree. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier) While visiting Vulcan circa 8877 (on the Vulcan calendar, roughly equivalent to the Earth year 2237), Spock explained to his father that he was passing through ShiKahr during his journey to the family shrine, "to honor our Gods." (TAS: "Yesteryear") In the year 2285, the fal-tor-pan was considered a legend. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
