Human History Time Periods
A fanciful re-rendering of the dating system used in human history. Not region-specific, the system would present problems with timing of the invention of metallurgy, etc, but the idea of a system not based on religious indulgences and centered around important historical happenings is pleasing to the eye.
Dubbed “ES” as “Epistic System” in honor of the site and its goal.
