Historic Folding Rule
2000 years of world history
detailted and to the point
|
|
|
The Historic Folding Rule visualizes history on two different levels. Its Event Side is a selective collage from all cultural realms. The Periods Side provides correlations and context: it is linear, a condensed backdrop of history as the total of all its influential forces. Together, both sides offer an enlightening view of history from the Christian Era until today.
|
|
Other than conventional history books the Historic Folding Rule elucidates historical correlations in an extraordinary way: it provides a synthesis of clarity, keen intellect and wit.
|
|
|
The Event Side
On the event side, each centimeter represents ten years of world history. It recalls significant data from the Roman times until the Millenium, from Jesus Christ to the Internet. |
|
The Periods Side
The periods side presents world history divided into its fundamental periods. Entries on intellect, powers, and the arts on a backdrop ranging from LATE ANTIQUITY until the MODERN TIMES provide a context for individual events.
