Timeline is a visual display that shows events in chronological order. It helps organize information from the past to the present. Timelines are used in history and education.

They can include years, centuries, or exact dates, depending on the topic. A timeline of ancient Egypt, for example, may show periods of different dynasties and major events. Timelines make it easier to see how events are spaced over time.

Timelines are used to support understanding of sequences and historical relationships between events.
