Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Synchronology of the Principal Events in Sacred and Profane History: From the Creation of Man, to the Present Time; Compiled From the Most Authentic Sources, Including the Following Standard Works: "The Chronology and History of the World, by Dr. J. Blair," Archbishop Usher´s "Annales Veteris Et Novi Testamenti," "Haydyn´s In this Chart time is supposed to be flowing uniformly from left to right; and represents at one view the rise, revolutions and fall of the principal states and empires of the world. It will be readily noticed that the space apportioned to each country represents its relative political and historical importance, rather than its geographical extent. It is also apparent that those portions of country which are least known in the world´s history, as the greater part of Africa, and the northern part of Asia, are not at all on the Chart. It often happens, owing to conquests and political revolutions, that the several parts of an empire or state cannot be placed contiguous to each other. To obviate this apparent difficulty, the different parts of the same empire are colored alike, as the dominions of Charlemagne in the ninth century. The spaces between the vertical lines represent the centuries before and after the Christian era; those between the horizontal lines the Grand Divisions of the earth and their sub-divisions, as the names at the end of the Chart indicate. Thus by tracing the Chart from top to bottom one may see what states and empires were contemporaneous at any chosen time. At 100 A. D. we see Rome represented as virtually the "mistress of the world." Parthia withstood her power and the Goths, Irish and Picts as well as the Arabs, Hindoos and Chinese were not conquered. By tracing the Chart from left to right we see the rise, progress and fall of nations, whence they sprang and what states rose from their ruins. This may be seen by the four great empires of antiquity. The Assyrian was the most ancient and was succeeded in 536 B. C. by the Persian empire which merged into the Macedonian empire in 330 B. C., being conquered by Alexander the Great, and at length became a Roman province. Rome, the most powerful empire of antiquity, was divided in the fourth century A. D., the western part of which was subjugated in the fifth century and the eastern in the fifteenth. The same political changes are mentioned in the Regal Index tables and still more at length in Synchronology. In fine, the Historical Chart is to Synchronology what maps are to geography.
