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:
“This world is a place of business. What an infinite bustle! I am awaked almost every night by the panting of the locomotive. It interrupts my dreams. There is no sabbath. It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
