Hey Product Hunt! πŸ‘‹ I’m Yam, the maker of Globe of History. **Desktop only for now** This project started from a personal frustration. I was planning a trip to Greece and looking at Google Maps. All I could see were restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets. I kept thinking, "Socrates and Plato were right here. Great battles happened on this ground. Where are those pins?" I wanted to see the history of the place, not just the commerce. 🌐 What it is: An interactive 3D globe that visualizes 6,000+ years of history. You can drag the timeline, or filter by categories like: βš”οΈ Battles & Wars 🧠 Philosophers πŸ’‘ Inventions & Discoveries πŸ’€ Assassinations βš™οΈ How it works (The Tech): The biggest challenge wasn't the map; it was the data. There is no clean "history.csv" file. I built a 3-step AI Data Factory: Collector: Scripts that crawl Wikipedia/Wikidata to find and verify real events (so the AI doesn't hallucinate). Generator: Gemini AI writes engaging, narrative content for each event. Verifier: A second AI agent fact-checks the content against source documents. It’s still in beta, and the data is a constant work-in-progress. I’d love your feedback: There is about 15,000 events, How is the performance on your device? Thanks for exploring! 🌍

Congrats on the launch! This is such a refreshing idea, it actually makes history feel alive instead of just something we read in textbooks. The 3D map + timeline combo is super immersive.

One thing I’m curious about: with so many events loaded in, which category did people explore the most during your beta battles, philosophers, or inventions?

Awesome idea. Where do you fetch the new data from? Can we upload our own?

Man, this is brilliant idea – students should use it in the lessons of history. Is there a possibility to add some historical events by users?
