21. This is the basic form of the GeoHistoGram – seven vertical bars.

22. Time goes up the side, from the distant past on the bottom to the present at the top. Time goes up the side, from the distant past on the bottom to the present at the top. The GeoHistoGram has no definite beginning date. The time before Era 1 is labeled Pre-history.

23. Space goes across the diagram, from west on the left to east on the right. The bars represent major world regions, from the Americas in the west to Polynesia in the east
