Six millennia of world history at a glance, in more than 400 illustrations.Through thousands of dates, facts and quotes, all in chronological sequence, a 30-foot, visual panorama of history literally unfolds, revealing untold treasures inside. Great empires, dynasties, rulers from King Solomon to the present day, exciting inventions, and dramatic discoveries: this magnificent, fully updated chart covers 40 centuries before Christ and 20 centuries after his birth. Based on the famous and now very rare Victoria wall chart, first published in 1890, it maintains the traditional design, but with new maps, charts, and information that go right up to the 21st century. With coverage of the Ancient, Medieval, and Modern Worlds; Geochronological Timecharts; images of sculptures and costumes; ethnologies; and lots more, this one-of-a-kind item can be displayed on the wall or used as a handy educational reference.… (més)

This would be such a cool book if not for the ridiculous Christian lens. It can't be labeled history when the first half of it is all just based on fairy tales. I acknowledge that it is basically just a reprint of an earlier work, so it isn't really the book/author's fault.

Apparently updated from some 19th-century chart, but without any indication of original publication. Updated to ca. 1990. Previously published (?) London: Studio Publications, 1988 Facsimile edition ( )

A reproduction of a 19th century Wall Chart. Citing Genesis 1, the Chart begins with Adam and Eve, and proceeds to depict history unfolding across epochs and centuries by using 14 connecting panels which fold out to 15.5 feet.

Hard to know what to make of the comprehensive concurrence of events. For example, we see that in 432 A.D., Attila rose out of the Empire of the Huns and sacked 70 European cities and at the same time at the opposite end of Europe, St. Patrick landed in Ireland.

Includes reigns of rulers and their "important" battles, history-making inventions, mythical and biblical figures, great monuments and some demographics. Special attention is given to Hebrew and "Christian" events -- the Prophets, the "Exodus", the Babylonian Exile, and the "ten persecutions", the eight Crusades, the twenty ecumenical councils, etc.

The history of women, culture (dance, music, literature, middle class emergence, urbanization, etc) is almost entirely overlooked. Also, while India and Asia are included, the New World and Africa are included as colonies of the European monarchs.

Includes regimes up through 1980's.

Hull's wallchart is a classic and it got me interested in history back in the day. Hull made this chart in the 1890s, and it is very biblical and follows the Ussher chronology. The ancient history stuff has all been supplanted by new information.

However, I don't know why the Barnes & Noble versions say drawn by Edward Hull and the Master Books edition says it was written by Sebastian Adams. The great work on the history of timelines, Cartographies of Time: A History of the Timeline, says that the author was Adams. Perhaps Hull was the illustrator? ( )
