Histography is an interactive timeline that spans across 14 billion years of history, from the Big Bang to 2015.The site draws historical events from Wikipedia and self-updates daily with new recorded events.The interface allows you to view between decades to millions of years.You can choose to watch a variety of events which have happened in a particular period or to target a specific event in time. For example you can look at the past century within the categories of war and inventions.

This is one of the most beautiful visualizations of history I've ever seen, and it is amazing how it can exist thanks to Wikipedia.

WebGL keeps crashin for me. Not to stir up a comments war, but does this include Adam and Eve?
