  • Lots of comments about my placement of Egypt, so let me respond: Geographically, Egypt is in Africa. However, from a cultural and genetic perspective, it is also very much a part of the Middle East. Although it had interactions with other parts of Africa throughout history, it also had lots of interactions with the Levant, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia. Therefore, for reasons of design and in order to more easily show several key interactions that occurred in ancient times, I placed Egypt next to the Middle Eastern civilizations rather than the Sub Saharan civilizations. In the video, I mistakenly summarized the horizontal sections as the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia & the Pacific but it would have been more accurate to describe them as the Americas, Sub Saharan Africa, Europe, the MIDDLE EAST, Asia & the Pacific. In other words, I did not mean to insinuate that Egypt is a part of Europe! Finally and most importantly, please note that there are no geographical labels on the poster itself. While civilizations are generally shown from West to East, this is a history poster, not a geography poster, so it's not exact.

    • 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.

    • 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.

  • You should do a timeline of each period on its own! like a close up / zoomed version of each era, that would be amazing. I am obsessed now with the timeline video on Asian history and I wished I could see more areas of the world in that same way, so orderly and easy to understand. It truly sparks my curiosity to make research on my own about each of the important events mentioned. I am absolutely going to buy the book as soon as I am able. Thank you for your wonderful work!

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.

The way I remember world history, we'd study the Roman Empire in one semester, and far eastern history of around the same period in a whole other class. I was never able to see the timelines and how they coincided or contrasted until today. The picture is more clear for me now. Questions like "what was happening in China when Galileo was discovering the moons of Jupiter?" or "what was going on in America when the pyramids we being built? Are much easier to see now.
