Here's another weak attempt to put it all together...

Very nice! I like that you also have other layers of information. What is the wave from in the background?
Check out my version of a similar timeline:
Very nice! I see that your interactive timeline is a much better way to include such a large amount of information...
I still want a simplified one for educational purposes though... something that I could take to a school or turn into a poster.
Yours is much better! congrats for the work.
The wave in the background is a statistic on art production from each period based on 29.000 items in the Louvre museum... it's a proxy of sorts for wealth.
Wow, that is immense. Congrats
It's hard to put it all in one place. A lot of simplification is required and a lot of information is lost... in reality no system was ever stable and there are many transitionary periods as well as geographical overlaps.
The Greek system looks particularly ande deceptively simple... in reality because of the decentralised governance of greek city-states there were many competing monetary systems even when the Athenian Drachma was supposedly dominant...
I've skipped the chinese history on this one because there is so much more there it just does not fit!
