What is the purpose of creating a
We have created a historical timeline of the world famous ancient sites to provide
you with an information on how really old are these sites. It was created by arranging these ancient sites in a chronological order also
shows in what time period these ancient sites were built.

Amerika Kusini ni bara lililo katika Kizio cha Magharibi, hasa katika Kizio cha Kusini, na sehemu ndogo katika Kizio cha Kaskazini. Bara hilo pia huonwa kuwa bara dogo la Amerika. Inazungukwa magharibi na Bahari ya Pasifiki na kaskazini na mashariki na Bahari ya Atlantiki; Amerika ya Kaskazini na Bahari ya Karibea ziko kaskazini magharibi. Amerika Kusini ni ya nne kwa eneo baada ya Asia, Afrika, na Amerika Kaskazini na ya tano kwa idadi ya watu baada ya Asia, Afrika, Ulaya, na Amerika Kaskazini. Kwa sababu hii, tumeunda mstari wa wakati wa kihistoria wa maeneo maarufu ya kale ya ulimwengu ili kukupa habari juu ya jinsi tovuti hizi zilivyo za zamani. Mifano hiyo ilitengenezwa kwa kuweka maeneo hayo ya kale katika mpangilio wa wakati na pia inaonyesha ni katika kipindi gani cha wakati maeneo hayo ya kale yalijengwa. Orodha ifuatayo inaonyesha maeneo ya kale yaliyopangwa kwa utaratibu wa muda wa awali (Kumbuka: Habari ya mara kwa mara katika mstari huu wa wakati inategemea rasilimali za kihistoria zinazopatikana kwa umma. Baadhi ya tofauti katika makadirio ya vipindi hivi vya muda inaweza kuwepo.) <p>Kama ni wakati wa ujenzi, ni wakati gani? [2550-1601 B.C.] Stonehenge ni moja ya makumbusho ya kihistoria ya megalithic ya kuvutia zaidi ulimwenguni kwa sababu ya ukubwa wa megaliths yake, mpango wake wa concentric, na muundo wa usanifu. Piramidi za Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza, Giza Piramidi za Giza ni mojawapo ya vivutio maarufu zaidi vya watalii ulimwenguni. Piramidi Kuu ni mojawapo ya maajabu saba ya ulimwengu wa kale na ni moja tu ya majengo hayo ambayo bado yamo. Petra ni mji wa kihistoria na wa kiakiolojia ambao unajulikana kwa usanifu wake wa kuchonga mwamba na mfumo wa mifereji ya maji. Ni eneo lenye fahari na lenye fahari zaidi la ulimwengu wa kale ambalo bado lipo leo. 447 - 432 K.K.K. Parthenon ni hekalu la Athene, ambalo ni moja ya makumbusho makubwa ya utamaduni wa Uigiriki wa kale. Vita vya Terra Cotta: 211-206 KK "Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses ni mchoro wa ""Terra Cotta"" unaoonyesha majeshi ya Qin Shi Huang, Maliki wa kwanza wa China." Kolosai ni jumba la maonyesho lenye umbo la mviringo, ambalo lilikuwa kubwa zaidi kuwahi kujengwa katika Milki ya Roma. Inaonwa kuwa mojawapo ya kazi bora zaidi za usanifu-ujenzi na uhandisi wa Waroma. Chichen Itza ni mji mkubwa wa kiakiolojia wa ustaarabu wa Maya kabla ya Columbus katika Peninsula ya Yucatan ya Mexico. Ni mojawapo ya maeneo ya utalii yanayotembelewa sana nchini Mexico. Borobudur ni moja ya makumbusho makubwa ya Mahayana Buddhist ulimwenguni. Jengo hilo lilijengwa juu ya ngazi kadhaa na lina umbo la piramidi kubwa la hatua, ambalo linawakilisha mandala ya pande tatu na mafundisho ya Kibuddha. """Angkor"" ni eneo la kihistoria la kihistoria la Uingereza ambalo lina mabaki ya majiji makuu ya Khmer." Miongoni mwao ni Hekalu maarufu la Angkor Wat na, huko Angkor Thom, Hekalu la Bayon lenye mapambo yake mengi ya sanamu. Mji wa kale wa Inca uliokuwa juu ya milima ya Andes, labda ni uumbaji wa ajabu zaidi wa mijini wa Milki ya Inca. Machu Picchu ni mahali panapopendwa na watalii zaidi nchini Peru. Mstari wa wakati wa kihistoria unaweza kuwa zana muhimu ambazo hutoa habari muhimu kuhusu ustaarabu, dini, matukio muhimu ya kihistoria, uvumbuzi, na viongozi ambao walikuwa na athari kubwa kwa ulimwengu wa kisasa, kama inavyoonekana kutoka kwa meza ya mstari wa wakati wa kihistoria, makaburi haya ya kale ya kiakiolojia bado yapo hata leo, na hutoa fursa kubwa kwa wote kutembelea na kuunganisha tena na historia tajiri ya binadamu. Sasa ni wakati wa kuanza kuchunguza maajabu haya ya kale! Rudi kwenye Ukurasa wa Mwanzo
