World History Timeline

The History of the World is clearly illustrated with this large 35-page timeline wall display. When arranged side-by-side, this exhibit extends more than 24 feet in length and makes an easily-viewed display for your classroom or school hallway. This timeline is cleverly illustrated with fun cartoon characters in colorful original artwork and serves as an easy-to-comprehend and memorable reference to the sequence of 35 important dates throughout world history. Ready-to-hang letter-size copies include 14 events from Mesopotamia in 3500 BC to the first century, and then a true scaled timeline of 21 events from each and every century to present day. Era labels are also included (see the preview for suggested display). Includes full color printouts, plus black-and-white pages for those teachers who wish to assign individual events to students to color and research.
