The Wallchart Of World History
The Wallchart of World History: From Earliest Times to the Present is a synchronological wallchart and timeline ("timechart") that graphically depicts the history of mankind from 4000 BC, the biblical beginning of man, to modern times.
The chart is based on The Bible, thus a chronological history of The Bible is presented on its first pages, causing nowadays some reluctance to use the chart, that eventually merges with secular history on the pages following.
The original version by Edward Hull was published in 1890 and spanned to his present day in the 19th century. The chart has been later updated to continue up to the 21st century.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or history:
“There were never in the world two opinions alike, any more than two hairs or two grains. Their most universal quality is diversity.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
