Each dot marks a year and includes a short description, making it the perfect reference guide if you ever find yourself at a trivia night and need to know what civilization was doing in, say, 1673.

From revolutions that shaped nations to the rise and fall of empires, the book meticulously documents the relentless march of time-without providing the context of why any of these things matters.

There's a certain charm in the book's ability to make you think, "Wow, a lot happened in the past... and then it just kept happening!" It spans enough crucial moments to fill your mind with random facts for a professional 'dinner party small talk' session.
