History

This cleverly laid out wooden carpenter's rule unfolds 2000 years of world history accurately and in sequence. Defined by individual events on one side, and epochs on the other it provides easy and instant access to our most important historical dates.

Right at your fingertips the events that led our decline into the Dark Ages; highlights of the Renaissance and Reformation; the regretful circumstances that triggered two calamitous World Wars; the steps that lead to Peace; uplifting events such as Armstrong's walk on the moon in 1969 and the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It's all here: 2,000 years encapsulated in 2 meters of folding rule.

Note: Also measures in inches and feet.
