There have been about 100 Avatars in the Avatar universe, spanning roughly 10,000 years from the first Avatar Wan to the current Avatar Korra. More specifically, official timelines suggest there have been more than 90 Avatars, with Korra being the 99th Avatar and the upcoming Earth Avatar set to be the 100th. This aligns with an average Avatar lifespan of about 100 years.
Estimates and Lore Context
- The Avatar cycle started around 10,000 years ago with Avatar Wan merging with the spirit Raava.
- Based on average lifespans and the number of statues seen in the Southern Air Temple, estimates range from about 75 to over 180 Avatars, although official sources gravitate towards around 100.
- The known named Avatars so far include Wan, Yangchen, Kuruk, Kyoshi, Roku, Aang, and Korra among others.
