I'm no historian. But I do love reading analyses of major historical events and figures and thinking about the connections and turning points that cross time and geographies. This massive (and I mean MASSIVE) timeline is a history visualization tool that makes it significantly more efficient to see those connections. And this tool is fun to play around with even when I'm just watching "ROME" or "Spartacus Blood and Sand." The added context makes the experience of watching these shows that much more fun. "No, I'm not wasting time by watching these shows for a fourth time. It's educational."

Imagine reading Voltaire, wondering why he seemed to be so focused on freedom of thought and speech, and then checking to see who the rulers in France/England were and then researching their policies and then a bit later you see Newton and Locke and are reminded that they played a role in developing Voltaire's arguments so you research them a bit too. After many bottom-less rabbit holes, you start to get a picture of what Voltaire was up against and from where and who he got his ammunition. The connection between these three great thinkers is no secret, but their proximity on the timeline does help make that connection tangible. The point is this is a tool that builds and rewards curiosity.

I like to think that I would have eventually started to build my own version of this if this didn't exist, but I don't think a novice historian could have covered the breadth of this masterpiece. It's not just a matter of knowledge or passion. You do not have the time to build this from scratch.

Every history classroom needs a license to this tool.

That the files are open and editable so I can add whatever additional events and details is the cherry on top.

I have just started, but, BOY, is this amazing! I can barely start one article but I'm off to another. DEFINITELY worth the price if you are a history buff!!

Wanted something to assist in my travels with convenient access to how history intersects and affect other regions. This product does just this in a mobile app.

A great resource. Huge effort to put this together. Kudos.

"It’s brilliant- a phenomenal piece of work that allows me to easily compare slices of history around the world- and it’s editable so I can personalise it. Well worth the price."

This piece of work is a Very comprehensive timeline with extensive features and is a worthy addition to any bible studiers library. Well worth the money

What an awesome and incredible achievement. Being able to see and compare various timelines and the events that occurred around the world in unbelievably revealing. It’s difficult to stop scrolling through and getting new insights. Perhaps best of all is its open architecture which allows you to put your own families timeline and important events into the spreadsheet. So much fun to see which US Presidents were running the country when my great, great grandfather was alive. I absolutely LOVE this program. It’s worth 10X what it costs.

This is just the perfect thing I needed to accompany my Family Tree. I've researched my biological family back quite a way back, so this is going to help me finding out just how many people I'm actually related to. I also have some UsefulCharts and along with this timeline, it's just perfect. Thank you, you've made my life just a little bit easier.

The World History Timeline is an incredible amount of information that is thoughtfully organised in a manner that makes accessing specific pieces of information easy to find. Or if you just want to browse and compare the state of China as compared to ancient Rome, that's easy, too.
I now keep the WHT open and in the background while I read a history text, so I can have a bit of context. A real-life example: I was reading "The Annals of Imperial Rome" (whose chapters are grouped by years) and I needed a refresher in the order of Roman Emperors. Within a matter of seconds, I had all the info I needed and then more if I wanted to delve deeper.
This much be a work of love that has grown into a professional, slick package.
Thank you for putting this together!!

The amount of information in World History Timeline is amazing. I no longer have to visualize in my head or reference multiple sources to place historical events in order. If you love history as a hobby or you are a serious historical researcher this spreadsheet is a must.

I absolutely love having the ability to jump from one era to another with almost no effort. I love history and I tend to have multiple history books going concurrently however the books seldom link in a time line. Now, that work is already completed for me and when I find those gems which come along every so often, I can update my timeline. I'm not aware of another presentation method which even comes close to usefulness of this timeline. Many thanks for all your hard work, most certainly a labor of love and impeccably done at that!

Always was thinking myself to create such a time history arrow! But it is a collosal task. Thank you for your efforts!

Such a great resource for students and history buffs alike. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture when you’re down in the weeds or history. The timeline allows you to step back and get a true “big picture” comparative view of what was going on in multiple spheres of human activity at any point in history. I can’t even begin the imagine the many hundreds of hours which must have gone into the meticulous and insanely detailed content here. Well done and thank you to the creator/s!

Great stuff , very interesting and illuminating content

Wow! This is such a great tool. Very comprehensive but also easy to add your own entries for areas of history you're interested in.
