World History Timeline Poster
A world history timeline or chart helps us to visualize the birth, development and major events of human civilization from ancient to modern times.
This timeline of history poster was published by UsefulCharts in 2012 and updated in 2014. Here is what designer Matt Baker had to say about the chart. “My goal was to take the various elements that I liked from other timelines. Then I would add elements that I had wanted to see but didn’t. This would create the most complete, easy-to-use and up-to-date world history chart on the market.”
His goal was to make sure the chart was not Eurocentric by adding more about Asian, African, and Native American civilizations. He also used an equidistant timescale to provide a proper comparison. In this way it covered all time periods equally, all the way back to the dawn of history around 3,000 BCE.
He also added information from current research, such as proposed links between Indo-European groups; And he used a side-by-side format like this old bible timeline.
The world history timeline poster is 24″ x 36″ (61 x 91 cm), printed on thick card stock. It is available using the button below.
