- Worth noticing
- The page says nearby dated anchors are references, not proof of the selected year, and that its full historical source audit is still in progress.
Field notes
Controls let visitors choose a cultural timeline, select two places, and set a year from 7000 BCE to 2025 CE; the comparison panel describes its material as selected records from a larger desktop archive. The page lists China and Japan among the culture choices and says place markers cover 100 geographic tracks. It also cautions that nearby dated anchors are references, not proof of the selected year, and that the full source audit is in progress.
