World History Atlas & Timelines since 3000 BC - 1 views

  •  
    GeaCron is a project for mapping the entire world with not just the geography, but the history of the locations as well. Its purpose is to provide a map where researchers and students can select a time period and see what historical events were occurring at that same time period all over the world in as many countries as possible. Currently, the maps cover political events starting at 3000 BC, and the newest events being archived for modern day will be available at the start of 2013. The maps allow for a variety of features including relief maps, zooming, navigating in time, and embedding digital media sites to further enrich the information on the geographical areas through time.
