It would be great to make one for all the innovations and discoveries be its technical, mathematical, etc etc. Also maybe creating some linkage or graph sort of thing for showing the discovery or invention which led or built foundation for another discovery in later years (umm not sure, might be too complex... just an idea)

Cool visualization! I was wondering if you could find sources for war deaths before 1800. I would be interested to see how they compared to the later wars. Also, making the icons and the labels for the categories sticky (so that they are always on the left side) would make it more useful and less cluttered.
Thanks for sharing it!

This is nice, I once did something similar for my SO to chart artworks on timeline by different geographic areas. Time was on x-axis, different geographic areas were different timelines vertically, and different art periods were colour coded.
The hardest thing was mapping approximate date descriptions (think "1st half of 17th century") into years to draw on chart.

I like it very much.
I could also include the philosophical advances in the timeline and also events that are happening.

I enjoyed browsing through it. One comment: the "philosophy and art" row is missing anything after 1890.

I like that. Though I just skimmed it. What is missing IMO is volcanism, and how the larger eruptions overlap, maybe with a few years delay, with larger wars and epidemics, caused by misharvests. Maybe I've missed that, by only skimming?

The only eruption I have now is Mount Tambora in 1815. I looked at a couple others but wasn't sure how many to include. The effects tend to be regional.
