This is an exercice on representation done by Santiago Ortiz, remiscent of the Histomap, which is a visualization of 4000 years of History, created in 1931 by John B. Sparks.
Timeline of chronoligcal articles from Wikipedia: millenia (10 000 BC – 5 000 BC), centuries (40th BC – XIX), decades (1990s – 1990s), years (2000 – 2019), decades (2020s – 2090s) and centuries (22nd – 30th).
On this website histomap revisited, you could view the map zoomed in and click on the map, it would direct you to the wikipage.

What I admire of this project is all the theories behind to make data visulized especially focusing on the theme of time. It’s interesting to see the history not only in a linear way but you can ‘map’ it.
