Free on iPhone. No account needed to start.
- 193 countries
- 193 country stories
- 12 great empires
- 5,400 years of borders
Short lessons, one era at a time.
Start with today's map, then travel through eight eras: First Empires, Rome and its Heirs, Caliphs, Khans and Kingdoms, all the way to today's borders. Every lesson is a few minutes of play on the globe: find the country, name the empire, guess the year, put events in order.
- 11 kinds of questions, all on a real 3D globe
- Mistakes come back until you get them right
- A track for every country, chapter by chapter
Every country has a story. Watch it on the globe.
Why is Poland where it is? How did Brazil get so big? Each country's story plays chapter by chapter on the globe: the year sweeps back, the empires that held the land light up, and today's border appears on top.
Slide back to year 0. Or 3400 BC.
Drag the time slider and the whole globe redraws itself: Rome at its largest in 117, the Mongols in 1260, Europe on the eve of 1914. Tap any empire to see when it rose and fell.
Layers that explain the world today.
