Interactive Map of History: millions of people, events, maps
Countries of the past, rulers and kings, battles, famous people of the era - all after you pick a place on a map, set a year on a time slider. Explore over 500k maps down to streets, 3D & Augmented Reality. The "Google Maps of History" in your pocket.
This project has been for a long time my personal dream... 🤩 the most comprehensive Interactive Map of World History on ProductHunt!
This interactive tool transforms how people access and engage with history, allowing them to check facts while watching the news, talking to friends, preparing school homework, or visiting a historical site with family.
With TimeMap.org, you can pick a place on a map, set a year on a time slider, and travel back in time. Learn about the names of countries of the past, rulers and kings, battles, millions of people - famous artists and musicians, mathematicians, and more and explore relation as never before. Just adjust the selected period on timeline and pan map!
The prototype was introduced to the world at the Stanford University together with David Rumsey in his map center - on a dedicated event https://events.stanford.edu/even... back in May. Video recording available!
Now we are finally ready to launch it to a larger audience...
