This is fascinating. Does anybody know if something more recent/factual/extensive exists?

  Yeah, it'd be nice to see one that's actually based on fact instead of mythology.

    "The Timetables of History: a Horizontal Linkage of Peoples and Events" by Bernard Grun is the closest thing to what you're looking for. My dad had a copy and I loved flipping through it when I was a kid. Professional historians are unlikely to produce much else in this vein in the future though, because it leads to so many distortions of the evidence (i.e. something as complex as 100 years of history in an entire continent is pretty much impossible to summarize in one or two sentences). As for online timetables for students, I was surprised not to find much, besides this: http://www.timemaps.com/history http://www.timemaps.com/history
