One would depict a time range from 4000 BC to present date. The other would be a blowup of more modern times. I figure that up until Renaissance times, we don't need as fine a resolution on the timeline as we would for later time periods. By extracting a modern period and blowing it up right beneath the larger timeline, I'm hoping it will give us enough space to track our historical studies while helping them see how busy history has become comparatively in recent times.
