Great conversation starter!,
This review is from: The Wallchart of World History (Revised): From Earliest Times to the Present - A Facsimile Edition (Hardcover)
This is a neat book. It's a foldout time-line poster that's over 10 feet long. It was first published in the 1890's, and has been updated to the 20th century.
On the top is Biblical history, complete with references to the Bible book of Daniel with its stunning prophecies. It continues with Christendom history and major events. The rest of it compares Biblical, then Christendom, history with secular history. A very interesting, complex book to say the least!

This is a Great Treasure,
By Thomas "Former Teacher" (Phoenix) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wallchart of World History (Revised): From Earliest Times to the Present - A Facsimile Edition (Hardcover)
An immensely interesting timeline that takes you from Adam and Eve to walking on the moon. History buffs can study and read this chart for years on end. It is a visual representation of our past and graphically traces the nations, leaders and events of our civilized world. Great for kids to gaze at, grandparents to marvel at, and teachers to hang in their classroom as I did. Also helpful if your reading about the past to gather context about the time period. Makes a great gift. Do not plan to buy this and place on a self, you must unfold it and hang it on a wall to truly enjoy day after day.

6000 Years at your Fingertips,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wallchart of World History (Revised): From Earliest Times to the Present - A Facsimile Edition (Hardcover)
This chart is an incredibly detailed timeline of world history covering 6000 years. At the top are the years and as you look down the chart you are able to see what was going on everywhere in the world at that time.
It is a great way to put an event into context with the rest of the world at that same time. The chart is in color and printed on quality paper so it holds up to lots of use. You could even remove it from its hard cover and put it up on a wall for easier viewing. Highly recommend for seeing the big picture in history.
