Subject: Adding TimeUUID as Column Name using a PAST time?

I apologize if this is a dumb question...but is it possible to create a =
column with a TimeUUID in the past? I've been trying to do so, but my re=
cords are not being saved. I have date/times from some historical MySQL =
data that I've converted to a TimeUUID through a modded Python uuid1() f=
unction to create a UUID from a past timestamp (because I want my data s=
orted chronologically). I've verified that the UUID created is valid and=
 I've been able to extract the correct time out of the UUID.

However, trying to add this to Cassandra does nothing. The records appea=
r to save when the program finishes, but no data is listed or displayed =
when trying to query it. My scripts are written in Python using the lazy=
boy interface to Cassandra. No exceptions are thrown nor is there anythi=
ng in the Cassandra logs. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
