It’s true that we can time travel with Google Maps and its Street View, but the reality is that it’s very limited to certain areas and times that are very close. Like this, Get to know the world in the time of dinosaurs seems even more interesting to us.

We can do this on mobile devices via an interactive map It’s called the Ancient World and was created by paleontologist Ian Webster. A journey of millions of years that has allowed us to check out the evolution of our planet and discover interesting facts from the original continent of Pangea.

How much have we changed…

Ancient World map, with a look and interaction very similar to what is known as the “Celebrity map” Getting to know the earth 750 million years ago and see how it has evolved into our time.
