Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Yam, the maker of Globe of History.
**Desktop only for now**
This project started from a personal frustration. I was planning a trip to Greece and looking at Google Maps. All I could see were restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets. I kept thinking, "Socrates and Plato were right here. Great battles happened on this ground. Where are those pins?"
I wanted to see the history of the place, not just the commerce.
🌐 What it is: An interactive 3D globe that visualizes 6,000+ years of history. You can drag the timeline, or filter by categories like:
⚔️ Battles & Wars
🧠 Philosophers
💡 Inventions & Discoveries
💀 Assassinations
⚙️ How it works (The Tech): The biggest challenge wasn't the map; it was the data. There is no clean "history.csv" file. I built a 3-step AI Data Factory:
Collector: Scripts that crawl Wikipedia/Wikidata to find and verify real events (so the AI doesn't hallucinate).
Generator: Gemini AI writes engaging, narrative content for each event.
Verifier: A second AI agent fact-checks the content against source documents.
It’s still in beta, and the data is a constant work-in-progress.
I’d love your feedback:
There is about 15,000 events, How is the performance on your device?
Thanks for exploring! 🌍
