Beautiful Atrocities has another genius post in which the history of the world is distilled into the most important points. I would complain about the lack of entry on Jesus’ birth and death, given the dating scheme he uses is, in fact, based upon these premises. However, everything else, from Liza and Oscar Wilde (“100% man”) to the numerous revolutions ending in tyranny (France, China, Iran, etc), this is one timeline you should not miss.
