The interactive chrono-map in class
Our chrono-map lets you navigate simultaneously through time — from −4 million years to Antiquity — and across geography, with over geolocated archaeological sites, each linked to an in-depth article. An ideal tool to contextualise a period, compare civilisations or introduce a lesson sequence.
