Meet Globe of History

Globe of History is an interactive map for exploring events and people across thousands of years. Users move around a three-dimensional globe and adjust a timeline to focus on a period. Event markers connect historical accounts with places, while narrower time selections can reveal approximate political borders and cities associated with that era.

The project combines public historical sources with AI-assisted event descriptions and identifies limitations in its coverage and location choices. Polity and city profiles include source information where available. It is a beta intended for discovery and exploration, with incomplete coverage and historical estimates that should be checked against the underlying references.
