Description: "The Histomap - Four Thousand Years of World History - Relative Power of Contemporary States, Nations and Empires" The Histomap, created by John B. Sparks in 1931, is a unique and visually striking representation of world history. This innovative chart condenses four thousand years of human history into a single, continuous timeline. The horizontal axis spans from 2000 B.C. to the early 20th century, while vertical space represents the rise and fall of various civilizations and empires. The width of each "histon" corresponds to the territorial extent of the depicted civilization at a given point in time. What makes the Histomap distinctive is its ability to convey complex historical narratives in a simple and comprehensible format. By visually highlighting the simultaneous existence and interactions of different cultures and civilizations, Sparks aimed to provide viewers with a comprehensive overview of global history. While the Histomap has its limitations and has been criticized for oversimplification, it remains a fascinating and influential example of historical visualization. Measures 16 inches wide by 72 inches in length. This print is digitally remastered and professionally reprinted on tear proof & water resistant PolyPro™ paper using Epson inks.
