Timeline of World History | Major Time Periods & Ages 

@@maxmaxwell4461 Feel free to share any information that you have to support your view. Don't use hyperlinks though as they'll get caught in the YT spam trap. Also, if you post it here on the pinned comment, I'll be more likely to see it.

While the proximity cant be denied. The genetic and cultural can be. For so long history has written off Egypt as culturally and genetically different from the rest of Africa as to distance it from its African lineage. This has been a long standing position by Europeans, which is continuously adopted. I mean, one can easily refute by starting with a micro observation, stating the fact that humans walked out of African eons ago and continued to do so over millennia. Or that what we see phenotypically now in these regions, is not what was present during these periods. Of course it had interactions with Kush, its shared the same culture, they borrowed from each other, they are on the same continent. If that is the case, why not argue that Greek and Sicilian lineages are more closely related, genetically to Africans that their Europeans counterparts further north. In truth, this is not necessarily a critique of the good work you do, which I admire. However what I am refuting is a long standing position of European Anthropologist that have continued to forcibly remove Egypt from the African continent, this specific point in your color map helps to prop up this misrepresentation of history. But i do thank you for your reply and look forward to what you will do next.

@@maxmaxwell4461 Bang on, These European Educated people have a closed mind to what people say about themselves. They always control the narrative for thier selves.

This of course is the standard Eurocentric response which is understandable because you are obviously of European decent. I mean that as no insult just a statement of fact. We all tell history from our own perspective; unfortunately the Eurocentric view is too often written and promoted as if it is the sole authority on world history. I would never place Egypt, a term meaning "black land" anywhere else but in Africa, where it obviously exists to this day and is socially and culturally tied to the people of Africa. (Curiously enough, Europe is not even a continent, but we are taught that in every school book.) And of course we are told by Europeans that "black land" refers to the fertile soil and not the people. Again, when Europeans are telling the story any acknowledgement of the obvious presence of black people must be denoted as servants or mercenaries. Unfortunately many black people respond by labeling all Europeans as barbarian cave dwellers with poor hygiene and no culture. A tit for tat that serves no one. It would be nice to see a well-rounded telling of the story that gives full credit to all the nations involved and is not just a European cowboy movie. I will admit that I at least see you making the effort . A lot of similar charts don't mention Africa and the Americas at all. I hope you will continue to push the envelope in future charts.

Africa/Europe, Asia, etc are modern labels. Egypt is part of Mediterranean culture. Ancient southern Europe, the Middle East, and northern Africa have a much more closely shared culture and history because they all border the Mediterranean Sea. They had no concept of being different continents, because they are unaware that other continents exist, or that the lower half of Africa and the upper half of Eurasia even existed.

Agreed. I understood more about world history after watching this video than I ever did in school.

Agreed. Along with the narrative could be very useful for middle schools to introduce them to how the World civilizations of today began, right at the age when they are able to understand! Good knowledge basis for kids before they come to the false belief that what they are experiencing in their own neighborhood is all there is..

THE GAME OF HISTORY IS SURPRISED BY YOU U WILL BE. JAILED BECAUSE U ARE A TRAITOR U WILL MAKE UNDERSTANDING ME TOO EASY

I agree

Agree =/

You've never sat down and watched "Vines that cured my depression" have you?

Same.

This was actually the most enjoyable 17 minutes I be ever experienced on RU-vid.

everything started in the middle EAST first king first writings first city first nation first war first Empire and all religions and also first song first story and all Prophets of God were in middle EAST and also Cyrus The Great

@Jay Bird what I said is true

lt's a history of written history. Doesn't make sense to go back much further as not much happened and if you kept the equal distancing rule you'd just have an empty chart on top and all modern history jammed up together at the end.

"Visual learner" seems to be a myth, you can find it debunked on a youtube channel - we all learn better with a good mix.

yeah, Veritasium made a video about that

FAKE HISTORY.

@@pedroedsos Makes sense, I learn by watching, taking notes and reading my notes to refresh my memory

Me too.

they were all connected.

​@@luisdominguez2087Were they?

Since at least 5k or even more

single handedly maybe but many years of reading and studying.

That is true but not many people can. He did/does an excellent job.

@@tng6628 True. One professor in undergrad had us use the BEST text for our music class. It was hers.

Same here Aleksandra. Sadly, by the time I reached a point in my life when history become very interesting to me, many of the people from whom I could have learned firsthand experiences had already been gone.

Same with me. Never have desire to learn about history in school. After i ended school at around 19/20 yo i start get very interested in world history untill now 25 yo. Sometimes i kind feel regrets for late realization of how cool and important history is, i realized how much question and topic i can talk with my teacher about history 😢

Same here... it's all in the presentation and enthusiasm of the lecture. I wish he would have been my history professor

I have this biased hatred towards our schooling system for making things intentionally tedious, confusing and boring

When went to school they didn't even show you the the big picture. There was no "World History" course. As if European history was all that mattered.

The Globalist Age.

How about the invention of nuclear technology?

@@frozenweevil4022 Thats so random and euro-centric, I cant even. "Globalization of Power"?? Wtf. Just shush please.

It's being called the Information Age

Yes and the invention of Tik Tok is the start of the new dark age

So have I, when I would learn a history fact I would wonder what happening elsewhere.

Omg Exactly!!! I've been searching for an explanation like for so fucking long! I mean reading history in discrete accounts doesn't seem to make much sense if you can't piece it together in the large picture in terms of how relevant it was depending when it happened and what else was going on in different parts of the world at the same time.

I have too as soon as I saw this I bought it, this is gold.

You can go in one of those freeze places and wake up in hundreds or thousands of years

@jdxl I know

@jdxl Well depending on how old you are, there still is time for that technology to develop

My bet is that a million years from now, we won't have made it past this solar system. And that will probably be for the best.

@@Rationalific The only way that happens is if we go extinct within the next couple centuries. If not, 1 million years is a long time to figure out interstellar travel and I think you underestimate just how much time that is. The beginnings of society ocurred less than a 100th part of a million (10 000) years ago, and for 99% of that time pretty much nothing ocurred technology wise compared to the last century or two.

In school its boooooring In youtube its awwwwwsommme

In high school I did mathematics, science and biology. In tertiary I went with Mechanical Engineering and I'm working in an Aviation Industry. But lately I've discovered that I'm starting to be passionate about History and I'm getting self taught 💯% so well. I love how history connects with each and every industry/fraternity and makes me understand how all the world professions fuse together to create what we call a civilization.

it is really interesting but the way it’s taught in schools takes the fun out of it

exactly but school history is ugly

It is interesting, but ironically, we don't actually "learn". We make the same mistakes from our fathers.

Wow. That is mind blowing!

I don't understand your comment. People in the modern era can most certainly make this chart, so they should have used it to teach in schools. Very easy to understand.

@@nusaibahibraheem8183 Define "modern era". Colleges are only a few hundred years old. Home computers generally were not popular until the last 30 years. The software that gives everyone the ability to find and compile data into a video and share it online with an algorithm is as recent 2005 (give or take).

you don't go to school to learn you go to be programed. history depends on the person, or country telling it.

2.4m atm

how are you doing so far?

Deeeeep mannnnn

Deep as fuck

Sadly, it's something I know very little about.

@@UsefulChartsthat's ok, I understand! It would be an amzing collaboration if you did it with a channel like Twoset Violin. But whether or not you do it, I still love the content. Keep up the good work!! :) I always try to incorporate music history into my lessons, maybe I'll work on my own visual chart :)

I had this same thought. As a college student currently taking History of Western Music, something like that would be a godsend

@@carolinea5792 omg so much yes, i love both channels and a collab would be mind blowing

These charts are what I love in American movi classrooms

Same with the adhd I sucked in history so bad even though it does interest me. Being able to look at something makes it way easier than just text

I'm ADHD too 😁

@@UsefulCharts damn, you’re replying to comments years later, that’s cool, gigachad

It would have helped a lot in my school years, when I hated history. But I just love it now! It goes to show that it was the presentation that I hated, not the subject!

The chart is a masterpiece

Yes well we’ll see if we survive this or at least make it out of 2020.

Seconded!!

defiantly not the oldest standing structure in the world... by a long shot

Even till this day I would say history classes are not 'enjoyable' enough. As I have now seen a full overview of the history of world, I am now more likely to go on into puzzling every age one by one. Even this should be approached little by little. Only focusing on one certain age will get boring in no time.

Same🙋‍♀ I dont like history its so boring...sometimes in school I even ended up 0 in my test even though I listen..I dont know🤷‍♀ even if I listen enough it just past through my ear,It doesnt even touch my brain being ended up copying my classmate test😂Im really thankful to yt and to the channel that teach like this......if given a chance I dont like to go to school..youtube can teach us that the school cant🤦‍♀

Lol true

Yes, this graph is a prove, balance one civilizations more than others, even forget some majors civilization, history is write by the strongest

Yeh just imagine! That’s amazing

Well said bro

Or entire mythical histories accepted simply because it is written.

You seem really cool

First of all Jesus birth date is not defined in any holy texts but historicals debate it to be around 3 to 4 bc so, check your facts first

Matt is Jewish, he didn’t willingly change it from BC to BCE

current world has heavy technology&science, interglobalization, and massive alliance-systems, so although i believe you're right, i'm betting on it not happening based on the three factors i laid out

@@sinoroman would you care to elaborate on what it is that you're betting on not happening?

@@fargh entering a new period of history

@@zabaleta66 The virus going around is definitely real, there are photos from optical microscopes all over the place. And a few folks I know have had friends die from it. Don't be an idiot. I'm not going to say it's not being used for political gain-as it is, but it's a very real pandemic. And I think Romanke's making the point that we're at a high level of technology intersecting with a high population density ensuring shortages, disease, and efficient weaponry have collided. We're more likely to wipe ourselves from the map then achieve anything remotely approaching "Singularity" in the transhumanist sense.

@@Alucard-gt1zf we are technically experiencing the information revolution, where information on anything can be accessed anywhere in the world ( if you are lucky), which you might be right about. It could be viewed as the second coming of the renaissance period, where we have great advances in technology from the need to survive mother nature's wrath(and the damage we have unleashed upon ourselves as well), as well as pure curiosity. whether we have passed the Great Filter is still up to debate though.

This wouldn't work. 5,6 and 7 would be clumped way too close to eachother to be meaningful. To make it work you'd have to expand the distance between horizontal lines during that period, thereby defeating the purpose of the chart - to show equal timeperiods equally.

@@fargh Yes. And at this view level, it makes more sense to use round numbers. For example, I agree with 476 but 500 is easier from a design point of view.

i disagree with iron age and colonial age because they are ambiguous. everything else is ok.

UsefulCharts hello

UsefulCharts keep up the good work

Years was manipulated..the year now is 1223..

Thanks.

According to idiots* Immorlizabeth II predates this chart, she was born in the Lizard homeword, since she's a lizard, like Zuckerberg, and later infiltrated Norway, where she took the body of a viking who would later conquer Normandy and then England, taking the body of a new king each time, as seen fit to the normal human lifespan( Aka the lizard "skin-change") until she grew found of her current body. This is terrible news, since this can only mean she thinks the invasion is ready to begin

Liessss....Europeans was not writing they was n caves at that time

@@miguelpadeiro762 I'm actually open to what you said, what lead you to these specific conclusions, like that queen Elizabeth took the body of a Viking King in Norway? Do you have some proof that indicates that or are you just trolling? I know shapeshifting lizards are real even though tha idea doesn't fit into the paradigm of 99.9% of people. Which isn't surprising.

@Bigfoot I'm responsible with my acid, sir, no need to worry.

​@@yamchathewolf7714 Alright I'll just decribe a quick historical event. Now you know the French right? The dudes so proud they have like bagguetes up their asses? Yeah. Now there was this viking raider, rollo(the immorlizabeth first human skin), so he raided Paris and really devastated the region with his raids, so if you were French king( A proud dude with a bagguete up his ass) how would you respond? YEAH OF COURSE YOU WOULD KICK THE SHIT OUT OF THE INFERIOR PAGAN VIKINGS! But guess what? He literally gave northern France to Rollo with a bunch of extra money for him to stop the raids. WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK , RIGHT? Now this would be stupidly impossible to have happened, as the French are proud dudes with bagguetes up their asses, but I have the explanation: Rollo, Immorlizabeth, used her lizard mind controling powers to influence the French king into giving him the land, which was way better than his scandinavian territory and from there he could easily plan an invasion of england, where he'd then conquer 1/4 of the world. That's my proof Also, aliens bruv, aliens.

I’m actually doing that right now!. I was asked to teach a 40 hour world history course to a group of 10 graders over a period of 6 weeks. I looked at the syllabus the previous teacher used and it was a mess. This looks like a good start.
