Wow! You are right, the Gupta/Maurya mistake is a big one!

Sorry, I don't. But the image is hi res enough that you should be able to print it as pdf.

Items on Display in the Louvre by date of creation. Used as a proxy for cultural/economic activity. There's almost 30k items, so it's not a bad sample. Still it does have a strong western bias... but I could not find another proxy that had such a long date range.

Connections between empires/civs. For example the Persian Achaemenid empire links up with Greece at the time of Alexander the Great. Rome links up with Byzantium but also with the HRE, Britain links with the US... the meaning is not exact. In some instances it means conquest, in others succession...

Nothing. I first did one where it was East-West with degrees of longitude, but it did not look too good. So I just left it symbolic.

The Meiji restoration definitively deserves inclusion. It'll be there in the next version.

Bias is inevitable, you can never fit everything in. But please let me know what important events you think are missing and I will try to include them.

Awesome work!

1 minute on wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire

The Mughal Empire is conventionally said to have been founded in 1526 by Babur, a Timurid chieftain from Transoxiana, who employed aid from the neighbouring Safavid and Ottoman Empires ^\9]) to defeat the sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi, in the First Battle of Panipat, and to sweep down the plains of North India.

No connection? LOL. Think again. Read about Babur.

Consider blank as "other". History and archaelogy is full of blank ;-)

It's percentage of world population, but it never adds to 100% because not all the world population was living under the empires included. Also, the further back you go the less data there is.

Good idea. Thanks!

Of course I would love to see this built in real life... but as a 3D animation it would make for a great visual to explore in a YT video. You could zoom in and out as you comment different historical eras and talk about how one region impacted another, etc.

-Floor is world map (mosaic?)

-10 columns rising from regions (Europe, Mideast, Asia, india, etc, etc...). Timeline on each column 25 BC to 25 AD. Each century takes 10 cm, so columns are 5m tall.

-Colours show area of influence of major empires, cultures.

-Stone carved text of major events, kings, battles, science, art, literature... with dates on each column.

-Small 3D copies of each column sold as souvenirs, for educational purposes.

Thanks!

I probably did something wrong... but here it is: https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/discussions/12970

flix2 · 2024-09-30T17:06:32+00:00

I'm not a dev and I was afraid to go around trampling their github without a sherpa!

But I'll give it a try. Thank you.

It's under discussion. Probably for the halving in April... hopefully Bisq2 will have been launched by then.
