Ahhh — I used to have a page on my site of a history of the world in the Holocene era calendar (the current year plus 10,000, basically), trying to put the scale of human history in perspective. I scrapped it because, well, i am just one person, with my own biases and knowledge-gaps, and i couldn't realistically expect myself to ever cover every major event
That sounds like something I could try. I've collected a bunch of history notes since I learned about the holocene calendar years ago. - Also, I found that page by guessing the url.
I actually used to use it across the site, before i realised that i just didn’t talk about ancient dates enough for it to be worth the alienation — and even for those ancient dates, it rendered them unrecognisable to the lay reader.
I like Obsidian, you're meant to have all these weird complicated backlinks between tiny little documents but I just use it like a souped-up notepad
Obsidian is cool, I want to make a digital zettelkasten with it at some point
Man, would like to thank you for following me, your site is one of the most well designed I've ever seen, hugs
holocene ideas?

The interesting thing would be seeing how ancient dates change, modern ones are pretty obvious.
