I’m really interested in these world history timeline posters. There seem to be several out in the marketplace, the one pictured above is published by Oxford Cartographers and you can buy it from Schofield & Sims. There are more ambitious ones that such as the “World History Timeline” poster published by “Scientific Timeline Productions” which proclaims to be a timeline of “evolution, culture, and knowledge,” it looks pretty cool! Wish I had one as a kid! I’ll have to figure out which one(s) to get…
More! Here’s a “World History Chart” by Andreas Nothiger….
Also very great, illustrative and compact is this Word History Minipedia by Parragon Press, the 2005 version…
Do you own any of these? Do you have a preference? I am looking for one that is interdisciplinary (philosophy, inventions, politics, wars)
I’m looking for the same thing – any new discoveries ?

Hi! I just got the Schofield & Sims poster, it’s pretty small (53cm x 77cm) and covers “the rise and fall” of great empires. Pretty cool. I really want the “World History Timeline Chart” by
Tom Schoepen (195 cmx134 cm or 78″x53″) (http://www.worldhistory-poster.com/en) which is a “Historical overview of Literature, Philosophy, Science, Technology, World religion, Music and basic political milestones” It seems like they will compliment each other well as one is more about political entities and the other is about cultural and scientific developments…

I like “The Wallchart of World History” by Edward Hull, but the new Belgian project seems to be the best yet.
Please give me more information about the Belgian project to which you referred in your 9/14/08 post. Thanks, Ada
Do you know where I could purchase that poster above?
