If you like history, this is a great place to dig around. On the main page, there is information for purchasing a folding World History Chart with people, events, culture, and period maps.
From the What is HyperHistory page.
The World History Project
HyperHistory is an expanding scientific project presenting 3,000 years of world history with an interactive combination of synchronoptic lifelines, timelines, and maps.
A novel synchronoptic concept depicts a full panorama of history in such a way that it will appeal to a cultivated public at large. A true picture of the world would be incomplete if it equates history with the history of wars and politics and neglects all other aspects of life. The addition of scientific, cultural and religious facts and events are therefore a key to a fundamental knowledge of society.
A spatial representation of time has obvious educational advantages: here history is no longer learned but viewed.
