I built Chronoscope, a project to explore the world through time.I've been wanting to do this for a while, after being inspired by Ollie Bye's "History of the World" video several years ago.I'm not the first person to have done this - resources like OpenHistoricalMaps are amazing.But, I noticed there were a few disparate datasets / academic databases online, so I combined them together as best as I could (I've linked all sources in the app). To make it more interesting, I also included:- Notable events from the time period (geolocated where possible), sourced from wikidata- Ancient cities + their original names- Empire hierarchies for colonial empires like the British EmpireYou can jump acro
