Customer Reviews
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! Cheers Mate!! Alex Denoyer, Melbourne, Victoria, AU
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!
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.
