Seriously. You can see it in the photo, can't you? She's right there at the start of time.
No, really. These photos are of one of Dan's Christmas presents. I bought him Adam's Chart of History, which is this really really cool book that chronicles the entire history of the world. According to Sebastian Adams. And only up until 1871. The "book" is technically more of a timeline wall-chart than a book. The thing is about 22 feet long and two or three feet wide. See how it stretches the length of our living room?
But, man, it's cool. It's a "synchronological" multi-timeline (for lack of a better word) complete with maps and diagrams that starts with Adam and Eve and the Stone Age.
The chart covers ancient rulers, wars, statemen, councils and even U.S. presidents. Here's the end:
We're thinking that one day, when the basement playroom is not quite so, uh, destructible, we can hang the chart so the kids can read it and learn about history. Pretty cool, huh?
