Historica shows the evolution of people's lives over the last thousand years and shows how dramatically the world has changed. It tells the story of the wars, invasions, inventions, discoveries, exploration and the amazing people who played a key part in all these events that have brought the world, and Australia, to where we are today. Examining the world from the year 1000 to today, Historicais divided into sections based on periods of time. Within each section there are four streams: Milestone Events, The Arts, Science and Lifestyle. Timelines allow quick comparison with developments in different parts of the world at the same period.
