Human Saga

The whole human story, on one map

Human Saga maps 163 empires and 1,283 events from the first known hominin to 2025, each tied to where it happened and when. Drag the year scrubber and watch the world's borders redraw themselves through 8 eras, 9 regions, and 9 themes. It's history not as a list of dates, but as a living atlas you can move through.

It loads a globally balanced dataset of empires and events, each with cross-checked dates and at least two sources. The map borders come from the open historical-basemaps project.
