A visual, hands-on guide to 6,000 years of world history — built for curious kids, homeschool families, students, and lifelong learners. Most history apps are walls of text. World Timeline gives you three different ways to actually see the past, then a fourth tool to learn from what you've seen. THREE WAYS TO EXPLORE • 3D Globe — Spin and zoom the planet, set the year, and watch the world's borders shift through time. • Timeline — Native horizontal swimlanes show 34 civilizations side by side, from antiquity through today. • Events — A searchable list of 800+ events with date, location, and short context. Filter by continent, then jump straight from the list into the timeline or globe. THE STUDY PLAYGROUND This is where World Timeline becomes a real teaching tool. Pick a topic, build a selection, and the app turns it into a clean prompt you can hand to ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI chat — for a full lesson, a quiz, a story version for kids, whatever your learner needs. 13 curated study packs come built in: • Ancient Egypt • Ancient Greece • Ancient Rome • Story of Jesus • Crusades • Reformation • Imperial China • Exploration • Founding of America • Inventions • World War I • World War II • Biblical Events Tap one and the matching civilizations, events, and a focused study prompt are added automatically.
