The most interesting image I’ve ever seen

If you’re a history fan, as I am, cast your eye over this image.

I cannot guarantee it’s accurate, but it’s certainly interesting.

You can see all of the eras of history in an overlapping timeline. Zoom in if you’re unable to read the text.

What’s so interesting to me is just how short some eras are, especially more recent ones. Also the opposite, how some periods lasted for so long. For example, take a look at Ancient Egypt.

I’ve no further wisdom to add, but I hope that you spend as long looking at this as I did!

I’ve no idea who created this. If it was you, I’ll happy credit you.

You can find the original here.
