HISTORY & LEARNING

History Timeline

Five thousand years on one timeline: 191 events from the first writing in Sumer to today, with Africa – and Ghana and West Africa in particular – told as fully as Europe. Zoom from the whole of history down to a single decade, with a lane for each part of the world so you can see what was happening at the same time in Mali, England and China. Read it century by century, filter by region or theme, search, and test yourself: which came first, put four events in order, and guess the year.
