World History Timeline giant poster Map – Illustrated, 1 April 2010

I was a little concerned when I ordered this product having seen the reviews about how it's packaged. Mine was supplied in a large enough box for it not to be creased severely, a day under a couple of heavy books ironed these out and now it's perfectly flat and in great condition to mount on the wall.I've been looking for a world history timeline for a while and so happy I found this.

My flatmate and I descided to cover the flat in posters (world map, muscles of the body, etc, etc) and got this one on a whim.It wins.I keep finding myself tracking the history of a given corner of the earth and finding that 20 minutes have passed.It would be great if it came in a bigger size as while it is perfectly readable, it's our favourite poster and it could do with being twice the size given how absorbing it is. It really puts world history in perspective.

Chart clever and informative.shame about the part removed label on the back. left glue on the back and prevented the chart being rolled for storage. Now need to interleaved with tissue to store and replace each time when restoring. Also a large crumpled strip of clear tape attached to the front, this was successfully removed . Not really the condition in which it should have been despatched. Therefore less stars due to condition. Not returned as needed immediately .

This timeline is amazing. I bought it as a christmas present for the children of a friend but it looks so interesting we wanted it for ourselves. These timelines are in fact great gifts and great for children and adults alike who want to learn when it all begun.

I like this. You can see that all the moaning about the British empire is stupid compared to the Romans etc.

Lovely item but sadly arrived slightly damaged. Was for a last minute gift so didn’t have time to exchange it and it’s not damaged so badly but it is disappointing but therefore cannot comment on what the exchange service would have been like. Unable to contact seller without going through refund process so hope this helps future packaging.

Great way to visualise the rise, size and fall of empires. A really good quality plasticised poster. Rapid delivery.

This map is great and makes things very clear - but with all printed items that try and display a lot of information it could be a bit larger. It is not overly large to start with, which might be the reason many will want to buy it for. However, for those who want to look at the map from a little distance, rather than standing up close (at book reading distance) it will not be eminently readable.
