If we squeeze all of human history into just one year, the timeline is absolutely insane:
- Agriculture began 12 days ago.
- The first civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt) appeared 10 days ago.
- The Roman Empire rose and fell in the last 2.5 days.
- The Mongol Empire ruled about 18 hours ago.
- The Renaissance began 10 hours ago.
- The Industrial Revolution started 1 hour and 30 minutes ago.
- The first airplane flew 30 minutes ago.
- World War II ended 20 minutes ago.
- Humans landed on the Moon 18 minutes ago.
- The Internet was created 7 minutes ago.
- Smartphones became popular 2 minutes ago.
- TikTok was created 25 seconds ago.
It’s crazy how the things that control and trap us today—social media, the internet, modern systems—only happened in the last few minutes of our "year."
