Histography is an interactive timeline that spans across 14 billion years of history, from the Big Bang to 2015. The site draws events from Wikipedia and self-updates daily with new recorded events. Events tie to all subject areas including art, music, literature, wars, inventions, medicine, etc. The interface allows you to view between decades to millions of years. You can choose to watch a variety of events which have happened in a particular period or to target a specific event in time. For example you can look at the past century within categories such as riots or inventions. Most have links to video, related events and articles. Use the slider across the bottom to navigate through time.
