I was thinking about something similar, but from a different angle. Language history can demonstrate connections between peoples, times and places. The words show what was important enough to be encoded: say, we have the word „computer“ and it means that very important technology has been developed. Looking at such words we can judge on what could be included on the timeline, which discoveries and inventions have been made. We may find for some words how old are they and what could be their origin. We may trace the words and language structures across continents and thousands of years and reason about technology and knowledge needed for such journey, what climate was there etc. This would create a very interesting map.
