TimeMaps - World History TimeMap - 5 views

  •  
    The TimeMap aims to provide a visual guide to each civilization and nation in history, be an authoritive resource for historical enquiry, and provide an accessible way of looking at the 'bigger picture' of the world's past.

    Maps are the ideal starting point for historical enquiry. Without understanding the location of a civilization or state, within the axis of time and space, there can be no historical understanding of an episode. To study Ancient Egypt in isolation, not knowing whether it comes before or after the Ancient Greeks or the Ancient Romans, is on a par with studying myths and legends. What students need - what all citizens of today's world need, if they are to understand its past - is an overview, a chronological framework, in which detailed knowledge can be slotted. The TimeMaps History project seeks to provide both the overview and the detail, so that the latter is served up within its full context.




    TimeMaps materials are designed to be accessible for anyone interested in history; they also support teachers of history and their students. We take great care to ensure that our work is of the highest quality, based on sound academic research. We seek to communicate history in such a way that we can be as useful to a historian looking for a background on a topic, as for a student searching for a particular, specific piece of information.
