This chart covers over 2,000 years of human history and includes over 500 unique historical events. Some of the stated dates for these events may not match other accounts or perspectives. As modern scholarship has uncovered additional facts, the dates for some events have shifted slightly or changed completely. I spent numerous hours over several months studying, developing, and editing this timeline.
I highly recommend you view the timeline on a large screen in a maximized window. You can drag the timeline horizontally, use your mouse wheel, or use your cursor keys to scroll through the events of history. The bottom portion of the timeline includes secular events as additional context. Click on events for more details.
If you find anything that you believe is inaccurate or if you think something should be added, please contact me so I can review and correct it for the benefit of all of my visitors. Thank you!
