Lots of comments about my placement of Egypt, so let me respond: Geographically, Egypt is in Africa. However, from a cultural and genetic perspective, it is also very much a part of the Middle East. Although it had interactions with other parts of Africa throughout history, it also had lots of interactions with the Levant, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia. Therefore, for reasons of design and in order to more easily show several key interactions that occurred in ancient times, I placed Egypt next to the Middle Eastern civilizations rather than the Sub Saharan civilizations. In the video, I mistakenly summarized the horizontal sections as the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia & the Pacific but it would have been more accurate to describe them as the Americas, Sub Saharan Africa, Europe, the MIDDLE EAST, Asia & the Pacific. In other words, I did not mean to insinuate that Egypt is a part of Europe! Finally and most importantly, please note that there are no geographical labels on the poster itself. While civilizations are generally shown from West to East, this is a history poster, not a geography poster, so it's not exact.
@@maxmaxwell4461 Feel free to share any information that you have to support your view. Don't use hyperlinks though as they'll get caught in the YT spam trap. Also, if you post it here on the pinned comment, I'll be more likely to see it.
While the proximity cant be denied. The genetic and cultural can be. For so long history has written off Egypt as culturally and genetically different from the rest of Africa as to distance it from its African lineage. This has been a long standing position by Europeans, which is continuously adopted. I mean, one can easily refute by starting with a micro observation, stating the fact that humans walked out of African eons ago and continued to do so over millennia. Or that what we see phenotypically now in these regions, is not what was present during these periods. Of course it had interactions with Kush, its shared the same culture, they borrowed from each other, they are on the same continent. If that is the case, why not argue that Greek and Sicilian lineages are more closely related, genetically to Africans that their Europeans counterparts further north. In truth, this is not necessarily a critique of the good work you do, which I admire. However what I am refuting is a long standing position of European Anthropologist that have continued to forcibly remove Egypt from the African continent, this specific point in your color map helps to prop up this misrepresentation of history. But i do thank you for your reply and look forward to what you will do next.
@@maxmaxwell4461 Bang on, These European Educated people have a closed mind to what people say about themselves. They always control the narrative for thier selves.
This of course is the standard Eurocentric response which is understandable because you are obviously of European decent. I mean that as no insult just a statement of fact. We all tell history from our own perspective; unfortunately the Eurocentric view is too often written and promoted as if it is the sole authority on world history. I would never place Egypt, a term meaning "black land" anywhere else but in Africa, where it obviously exists to this day and is socially and culturally tied to the people of Africa. (Curiously enough, Europe is not even a continent, but we are taught that in every school book.) And of course we are told by Europeans that "black land" refers to the fertile soil and not the people. Again, when Europeans are telling the story any acknowledgement of the obvious presence of black people must be denoted as servants or mercenaries. Unfortunately many black people respond by labeling all Europeans as barbarian cave dwellers with poor hygiene and no culture. A tit for tat that serves no one. It would be nice to see a well-rounded telling of the story that gives full credit to all the nations involved and is not just a European cowboy movie. I will admit that I at least see you making the effort . A lot of similar charts don't mention Africa and the Americas at all. I hope you will continue to push the envelope in future charts.
Africa/Europe, Asia, etc are modern labels. Egypt is part of Mediterranean culture. Ancient southern Europe, the Middle East, and northern Africa have a much more closely shared culture and history because they all border the Mediterranean Sea. They had no concept of being different continents, because they are unaware that other continents exist, or that the lower half of Africa and the upper half of Eurasia even existed.
"without writing we can't have history" is the OG "pics or it didn't happen"
lt's a history of written history. Doesn't make sense to go back much further as not much happened and if you kept the equal distancing rule you'd just have an empty chart on top and all modern history jammed up together at the end.
hieroglyphs or it didn't happen
Carbon dating or it didn't happen
many writings are discarded because they don't fit the fairy tale
Charles Scott DNA is just DNA has nothing to do with a creator
they really need to start giving kids this chart in school, makes it so much easier to learn when you understand the context of everything. i think a lot of people struggle connecting the dots on all the things that were happening in different cultures at a given time in history. this makes it so much easier!
Agreed. I understood more about world history after watching this video than I ever did in school.
Agreed. Along with the narrative could be very useful for middle schools to introduce them to how the World civilizations of today began, right at the age when they are able to understand! Good knowledge basis for kids before they come to the false belief that what they are experiencing in their own neighborhood is all there is..

thanks!
THANK YOU

I see a lot of comments along the lines of "why didn't we have this in school". What you fail to realize is no one throughout history had this chart in school, We are currently living in a time that makes creating & sharing this video with billions of people possible.
+1 new subscriber
Wow. That is mind blowing!
I don't understand your comment. People in the modern era can most certainly make this chart, so they should have used it to teach in schools. Very easy to understand.
@@nusaibahibraheem8183 Define "modern era". Colleges are only a few hundred years old. Home computers generally were not popular until the last 30 years. The software that gives everyone the ability to find and compile data into a video and share it online with an algorithm is as recent 2005 (give or take).
you don't go to school to learn you go to be programed. history depends on the person, or country telling it.

its crazy to think that in a few thousand years, we'll all just be a short line on someone's chart.
Optimistic one, huh?
@@minzblatt Yeah, nobody will write our names, maybe our countries names (most important ones), technology and important events (like internet invention and Corona) etca...
Yes but your comment will live on

Tiny dots on an endless timeline
In this 17 minutes long video, I learned more history than I ever did in my 12 years of schooling.
Same to me
Educate yourself. Schools also tell lots of lies these days. Ask the americans.
@@WarriorofChrist612 That’s right
@@WarriorofChrist612 as america is right
Same bruh
I love being able to see how so many civilizations followed similar patterns, and had their rises and falls around the same time. Super fascinating!
they were all connected.
This is just so awesome, fantastic in every way. Without repeating all the other comments, I'll just say that I learned more about history in this video's 17 minutes than I ever did throughout my school years. Major kudos especially for the brilliant graphics ... this chart makes it so much easier to grasp these concepts than just reading articles about each individual element. I've saved this video along with a very few others in my "Best" queue. Bravo, bravo, bravo!
I really need a similar chart that compares the “eras” of art, philosophy, literature, science, music etc... while listing major events.
Same
Get out your magic marker and write it in
just give gaming about 6000 more years, and then people from 7020 CE will study Gaming History from all the way back in 1960's till their Modern Time. I mean, to us 1960's games seems ancient. Hell, I can't even play games from the 2000's cuz' of how bad the graphics are.
Imagine what gaming will be like in the year 7020 CE.
@@Enacaus No game in a limited world.
I wish I could like your comment five times.
This was actually the most enjoyable 17 minutes I've ever experienced on CZcams.
You've never sat down and watched "Vines that cured my depression" have you?
Same.
This was actually the most enjoyable 17 minutes I be ever experienced on CZcams.
everything started in the middle EAST first king first writings first city first nation first war first Empire and all religions and also first song first story and all Prophets of God were in middle EAST and also Cyrus The Great
@Jay Bird what I said is true
I just love the narration and the level of detail put into a digestible format that is easy to absorb and to see the overall picture. Absolute perfection! Thank you!
This might be the coolest video I've ever seen on CZcams. Bravo! 👏
Regarding your question at the end, I feel like only the lens of history helps us see the differences between major periods. So we may be on the verge of a new period, but I don't think the people alive at the time of such a transition may see it that way. I feel like that will be up to the future historians
He single-handedly promoted himself and created content. What a genius.
single handedly maybe but many years of reading and studying.
That is true but not many people can. He did/does an excellent job.
@@tng6628 True. One professor in undergrad had us use the BEST text for our music class. It was hers.
I have enjoyed the study of history my entire adult life.
This is *THE* single best chart, narration, and overview of world history I have ever seen.
Simply outstanding!!!
May the Gods of the Romans, and Greeks, and the CZcams algorithms reward you handsomely for your efforts. :)
@ Which event do you speak of?
Yet it is wrong and poorly researched....
My Greek Gods! It's a fucking overview.
What’s wrong
@@rosedawson1646 it's obviously not researched, it's mainstream history
Absolutely GREAT! Thank you so much very helpful! Not many channels and video do I support and truly put in effort to share, mainly because it's pretty hard to verify or support opinions and information that I find truly positive to growth and education. Again thank you will be checking out more videos, really appreciate the time taken to teach all of us.
Excellent summary/overview of comprehensive human recorded history. Love the the depth & breath of knowledge contained & dispatched in your chart
As a visual learner I’ve always struggled so much to understand history in its context but this video is so damn helpful!! I enjoyed it so much
"Visual learner" seems to be a myth, you can find it debunked on a youtube channel - we all learn better with a good mix.
yeah, Veritasium made a video about that
FAKE HISTORY.
@@pedroedsos Makes sense, I learn by watching, taking notes and reading my notes to refresh my memory
Me too.
I'm willing to bet that the invention of the internet is going to be the transition marker future historians will use for whatever age we are living in the beginning of
The Globalist Age.
How about the invention of nuclear technology?
@@frozenweevil4022 Thats so random and euro-centric, I cant even. "Globalization of Power"?? Wtf. Just shush please.
It's being called the Information Age
Yes and the invention of Tik Tok is the start of the new dark age
WOW. Great video. The explanation, while not very comprehensive, was excellent. The chart is the true prize. I'm curious how many hours and minds went into making the chart. Great work folks!
The chart is a masterpiece
Well done. Love the explanation at the beginning followed by each era.👏
Who says history is boring? It's the most interesting thing to learn.
In school its boooooring
In youtube its awwwwwsommme
In high school I did mathematics, science and biology. In tertiary I went with Mechanical Engineering and I'm working in an Aviation Industry. But lately I've discovered that I'm starting to be passionate about History and I'm getting self taught 💯% so well. I love how history connects with each and every industry/fraternity and makes me understand how all the world professions fuse together to create what we call a civilization.
it is really interesting but the way it’s taught in schools takes the fun out of it
exactly but school history is ugly
It is interesting, but ironically, we don't actually "learn". We make the same mistakes from our fathers.
I really enjoy all of your charts. I pass them on to friends. It's great how you can take a complicated subject and break it down to a few charts that are easy to understand. I also appreciate the scholarly approach to religion that you do.
I just subscribed and I checked all your videos and omggg im excited to watch all of them. World history, events and the famous people are my interest. Im glad I found your channel.
My wife and I are totally amazed by this. As history fans we often times get confused with time and overlaps in conversations. This video and chart is great! Definitely going to add this to our family’s learning.
This video needs to be presented to every kid... Holy f ... this video blew my mind! I spent 1 hour watching this video really trying to soak it all in. For some reason this makes me want to start going to school again. I graduated but have only been working for 3 years since, I haven't had any inspiration to go to school, but after watching this video I really want to start learning about everything. Thank you for this video! It's crazy how life puts these things in front of you!
Yeah.... I have been watching this video for last one and half hours.. And still am at 14:38 of it...yeah almost 3mins left till finish.
I searched things from 'Mansa Musa net worth' and damn- what not; on Google, out of curiosity!! 😅
I can totally relate to your thoughts bro.
AND THE WORLD IS FLAT.
You should definitely try watching the crash course world history series, which described multiple civilization/ major historical events in a loosely (coz most of them overlap with each other) chronological order
it doesnt acknowledge Aboriginal tribes soak that in
Wow! Amazing👏 This has really cleared up so much confusion for me (but also made me realise what little we know about our history, especially those 200k prehistory years)
Imagine how many colorful lines would be out there in history that we can't know about them in anyway except if there's time machine
or if we conquered the Vatican
Awesome! I’ve dreamt of finding a chart like this forever. When we learn history of the different parts of the world, it’s usually by focusing on one region at a time so that makes it hard to get a grip on what was happening everywhere else at the same time, unless there’s significant interaction between the regions. And the commentary gives such a great bird’s eye view of human history too. Thank you for this!
So have I, when I would learn a history fact I would wonder what happening elsewhere.
Omg Exactly!!! I've been searching for an explanation like for so fucking long! I mean reading history in discrete accounts doesn't seem to make much sense if you can't piece it together in the large picture in terms of how relevant it was depending when it happened and what else was going on in different parts of the world at the same time.
I have too as soon as I saw this I bought it, this is gold.
Would you consider making a timeline for music history? I'm a music teacher and love the timelines and charts you make.
Sadly, it's something I know very little about.
@@UsefulChartsthat's ok, I understand! It would be an amzing collaboration if you did it with a channel like Twoset Violin. But whether or not you do it, I still love the content. Keep up the good work!! :)
I always try to incorporate music history into my lessons, maybe I'll work on my own visual chart :)
I had this same thought. As a college student currently taking History of Western Music, something like that would be a godsend
@@carolinea5792 omg so much yes, i love both channels and a collab would be mind blowing
These charts are what I love in American movi classrooms
Mate you are a Legend. I have been waiting for someone to make a chart like this for years.
It really puts things into perspective seeing them this way.
I am going to order this chart right now thanks for creating it, and selling it.
Was looking for a video that will summarize the world from the beginning, well atleast the written history as you explained, and here I am willing to buy this brilliant chart.
Thanks
I didn't enjoy learning history while in school. I just couldn't see the big picture. I'm really grateful for this video. The chart you made is AMAZING. While I was watching the video something just clicked in my brain. Thank you very much :-)
Same here Aleksandra. Sadly, by the time I reached a point in my life when history become very interesting to me, many of the people from whom I could have learned firsthand experiences had already been gone.
Same with me. Never have desire to learn about history in school. After i ended school at around 19/20 yo i start get very interested in world history untill now 25 yo. Sometimes i kind feel regrets for late realization of how cool and important history is, i realized how much question and topic i can talk with my teacher about history 😢
Same here... it's all in the presentation and enthusiasm of the lecture. I wish he would have been my history professor
I have this biased hatred towards our schooling system for making things intentionally tedious, confusing and boring
When went to school they didn't even show you the the big picture. There was no "World History" course. As if European history was all that mattered.
In about a million year, if humanity still exists, I would love to see this type of chart in a galactic scale of civilizations
You can go in one of those freeze places and wake up in hundreds or thousands of years
@jdxl I know
@jdxl Well depending on how old you are, there still is time for that technology to develop
My bet is that a million years from now, we won't have made it past this solar system. And that will probably be for the best.
@@Rationalific The only way that happens is if we go extinct within the next couple centuries. If not, 1 million years is a long time to figure out interstellar travel and I think you underestimate just how much time that is.
The beginnings of society ocurred less than a 100th part of a million (10 000) years ago, and for 99% of that time pretty much nothing ocurred technology wise compared to the last century or two.
Matt, these charts of yours are great, so I've subscribed to your channel and bought two of the posters (World History and US History).
Per the World history timeline poster, any recommendations of good history CZcams channels for learning more in depth information of what's presented in your poster?
Hardcore History is currently the only history podcast I follow; for context, I'm someone who's slowly developing a strong interest in history, and wish to learn more in laymen's terms.
This was awesome! Such work was put into this. ❤
I just discovered this channel today after learning about the Russian Revolution in school. After watching over 15 videos from this channel instead of doing homework, i think it’s safe to say this is now my favorite channel on CZcams.
Its a amazing how he says each sentence as a matter of fact yet it consists of actual humans living lives with hopes and dreams and fears and ambitions hurt and sorrow...lives lived
how are you doing so far?
Deeeeep mannnnn
Deep as fuck
First time I get across your channel, and I can testify that, you are providing very useful information. Let me thank you personally, while wishing you the best of life!
This is fantastic. However, as an Irish person, it would be great to see our passage tombs, particularly Bru na Boinne, and Newgrange, the oldest standing structure on the planet, represented on the chart. It dates to around 3200bce - 2,900bce. It is often forgotten and it is hugely significant as a Stone Age site.
Seconded!!
defiantly not the oldest standing structure in the world... by a long shot
I am very ADHD and I’ve been really interested in history lately. I’ve been getting very frustrated at myself with not concentrating and getting confused with time periods. This chart and video was the most helpful video I’ve been in years! I can’t believe history can be explained as simple and detailed as this video. Thank you SO MUCH! This is such a resource when studying history!
Same with the adhd
I sucked in history so bad even though it does interest me. Being able to look at something makes it way easier than just text
I'm ADHD too 😁
@@UsefulCharts damn, you’re replying to comments years later, that’s cool, gigachad
Thank you for this enlightening video and also for highlighting all areas of the world.
This is the exact reason I looked this up today. We are not alone :)
You should do a timeline of each period on its own! like a close up / zoomed version of each era, that would be amazing. I am obsessed now with the timeline video on Asian history and I wished I could see more areas of the world in that same way, so orderly and easy to understand. It truly sparks my curiosity to make research on my own about each of the important events mentioned. I am absolutely going to buy the book as soon as I am able. Thank you for your wonderful work!
I have been looking for such content for a long time, can't believe I finally found it, and it is even better than I thought it could be,
Amazing, keep up the good work.
Wow this was so well made! First video of yours ive ever watched and im an instant new subscriber
this is the first time i can start to see the whole picture come together. it’s exiting to feel that part of my identity that is the human identity make some more sense. i love how you tied it together in the end with what we’re currently living
Just imagine how many lives came before us? Hopes and dreams...vanished in time.
At least they existed at one point
"from dust to dust"' ...
just wait till neuralink release an 'expansion-pack' for a 'Altered Carbon'-like eternity... or eternal domination?
Humanity will discover... ;)
After 100 yrs.....none of us will be here....
Or hopes and dreams realized and lived.
Thank you so much for such an informative and simultaneously lucidly explained video.
What a great job you are doing !
Will be great if you make a timeline video for Philosophy History as well !
He can enumerate things that happened in 100-year intervals and i’d still happily watch this. This is so informative! Mad respect for you guy/guys behind useful chart!

@@panchohalo2158 but you can't deny 2020 has been the craziest year for a long time... The pandemic is worse than the great recession and 9/11. The last big global event is probably the cold war and the dissolution of USSR.

Pancho Halo But you like putting YOURS down, eh?
Remember how 2020 started, Trump blew up a Iranian general who was trash talking him on social media, everyone was like WW3 starting, then Iran accidentally shoots down a commercial plane full of Iranians, and Trump was LOL. Feels like it was a lifetime ago, but it's only been a few months. Now the world is a meme with police around the world doing the coffin dance with dead people and blasting the coffin dance music to remind everyone to social distance.
This is fantastic! Closed up some major events that I, for years, struggled to get all in a row. My inner history nerd thanks you for making this! I'm definitely buying that chart.
Wow,this blow my mind!The things I learned in school are literally nothing compared to this.There is much more that I need to look for.Thanks for the brief yet informative overview of the world history.
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve viewed on the platform. Especially the complexity of the topic, to how well you put it all together. I’m purchasing this chart as soon as I can press send.

Dude, excellent job. Really. You found your niche. Simple, informative and honest. You allowed for the 4 year question period and made it concise.
Such GENEROUS CLARITY.
I thank him for putting it in the public domain.
The massive work that would have gone into this great piece of work must be unbelievable. This chart is a must have.
By far the best representation of human history and development of ages; Kudos for compiling and presenting it. Excellent material for any one to understand history.
Love it, absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for creating this Matt. I need to have this chart on my wall.
this is the exact explanation i was looking for! great video thank you
Thank you for putting all this information on a chart.. this is a very good way of summarising world history .
I finally found a comprehensive easy to understand explanation of our World History. I needed to simultaneously see images and explanations for what was emerging and what was ending during historic changes around the World. Thank you much, your calendar is amazing.
It would have helped a lot in my school years, when I hated history. But I just love it now! It goes to show that it was the presentation that I hated, not the subject!
I can't even imagine the effort, time, and knowledge put together to make this chart. kudos!
You're absolutely amazing . This was so helpful . Thank you so much ❤
Nice work, really appreciate the time and effort.
Useful Charts is quickly becoming my favorite channel. Zero ads in the middle of the video and amazing content, coming from a history nerd. I would love to see a vid on the early War of The Roses and the ending of the Tudor dynasty if you don’t have one.

Absolutely fascinating and essential knowledge!
Loved this video! This is exactly what I was looking for! A simultaneous view of what's going on in different parts of the world around the same time. Thanks a lot!
Wonderful chart! I wish I'd had something like this in high school, or even college. The way I remember world history, we'd study the Roman Empire in one semester, and far eastern history of around the same period in a whole other class. I was never able to see the timelines and how they coincided or contrasted until today. The picture is more clear for me now. Questions like "what was happening in China when Galileo was discovering the moons of Jupiter?" or "what was going on in America when the pyramids we being built? Are much easier to see now.
This is amazing! Thank you for helping me understand
Thank you so much for the overview..now i could pick a timeline and a region for studying it with detail by correlating with events occurring in the similar time line in other parts of the world 🌎
Oh I'm so in love with this
You seem really cool
So glad to have found this video! A perfect companion to the chart. In history, it's so important to zoom in and learn the details, then zoom out and look at the big picture, and repeat. There are plenty of good quality videos for children about details, but few that help with the big picture. Thank you!
thanks for connecting the dots. i never learned history as comprehensive as this.
Fabulous!!! Absolutely brilliant - everyone needs to know this incredible information! Bravo!!!
I have never seen such a concise and exceptional explanation of history on any channel or website. Thank you for making such videos
This chart is awesome! I am obsessed with World History, and your video did not disappoint.
That was sooo good and informative, thank you!
Thank you so much for that amazing work! Not only the chart itself, absolutely stunning, but the video too, so clarifying. I can't wait to get those charts and have a good look at them, again and again, with my son. Thanks for your work!
Amazing work. Thank you for making this video.
Excellent work ...very useful for history lovers ...thanks 👏 brother .
this is a pure masterclass, i mean pure gold dust the kind of work , planning and creativity put into it is just mesmerising. Hats off to the Creator
This was a fantastic timeline to see and understand our history. You did a great job putting all these periods together.
Fantastic video and collosal effort on creating the chart! I am going to order it for sure.
Very lovely video I can clearly tell how intelligent you are from just the chart alone, keep at it
You have an amazingly organized mind.
One of the single most important videos on CZcams...
Omg i learned a lot. After watching some Roman Empires videos, I became curious about everything like what happened before the Roman Empire or what was happening in other parts of the world. Then while I was searching world history, I found this. All of my questions were answered in this video. I loved this. Thanks so much. 💜
Beautiful , I am going to order a couple to have mounted and framed. Pretty interesting what precipitated each of the major events that lead to new ages.We are but a spec in time. This used in conjunction with geological time charts makes for a great educational tool.
"does this mean that we are venturing into the new period of human history?" certainly gave me goosebumps. knowing what happened before, humanity still manages to survive and thrive after each "pandemic". great video very informative. mabuhay from the Philippines.
Yes well we’ll see if we survive this or at least make it out of 2020.
This was probably THE most interesting video I've ever seen! It was so easy to follow with the chart, I will buy it!
Just took a world history course and THIS is what was missing. Something to put it all in perspective. I even started my own timelines... but this is at a different level. WELL DONE.
What a wonderful perspective, seeing things at such a high level and contextualizing events. Lots of shared patterns and wow, what emerged from cataclysmic events!
This chat makes all history relevant to each other rather than bits and pieces all existing separately. Really useful thanks
16:23: "OK, so that was obviously a very broad overview, but what I think is perhaps most interesting and most important are the similarities that can be seen in the transitions between each timeperiod. Often they involved a combination of climate events, mass migrations, and pandemics - three things that we are currently dealing with in the year 2020. Does this mean we are on the verge of entering a new period in human history?"
Yes. And to top it off, we are also approaching something akin to a population and technological singularity.
current world has heavy technology&science, interglobalization, and massive alliance-systems, so although i believe you're right, i'm betting on it not happening based on the three factors i laid out
