About Explore Prometheus
Prometheus is an interactive historical atlas. Choose a year to explore historical borders and civilizations on a globe or a flat map, then tap a place to read its story with sources. Its recorded political territories draw on Seshat’s Cliopatria dataset, covering 3400 BCE to 2024 CE, and event stories are curated from museum, university, library and archive sources, each with a date and citation. You can compare dates, follow guided Odysseys, and share map views or stories. Reading and exploring are open in the browser without an account.
