Caesar was busy creating Ape City: the structure; the buildings; the costumes; establishing the hierarchy and the "dynamics" among creatures. He was conceiving a NEW SOCIETY out of nothing. If you add the fact that they were STRUGGLING to survive in the first (several) years after the war, well, you can guess they only started to build Ape City very late. FYI, the novelization for Battle states the Ape City was founded nine years prior to the events of the film. I think nine years is plenty of time to construct the city we see in the movie. So I find the Goatley timeline, which sets Battle in 2001, a more plausible scenario. This is my scenario. I love it. I'm glad I can share it with you and other Apesters.  Thank you for sharing!  1- I guess that, in the original timeline, the Gesalt Mind Beings sprouted from genetic experimentation, underground researches run in need to overcome health problems coming from the past nuclear war. So maybe the "Blackmen" existed in the original timeline too, given the fact the nuclear war occurred in the late 20th century as in the altered timeline --- as evidenced by Cornelius' archeological site. My guess is that the "Blackmen" are humans more resistant and relisilent to radiation, thanks to a good genetic make-up. 2- Nine years, well, less or more... but I think they were struggling to survive in the decade(s) following the nuclear war (which ravaged the entire world), so I bet they started to build Ape City very late. The central point of my double-crossed timelines is that Cornelius, Zira, Milo and Milo Jr/Salomon/Caesar altered the past and created a better Planet of The Apes where humans and Humanoid Apes coexist peacefully. This way, the saga has a purpose and Taylor's sacrifice is not vain at all. Said that, Taylor and Brent are still out of there... and they will land on a new Planet of the Apes in the future to come.
