    1. I don’t understand the proportions at all. Can’t say it’s intuitive or beautiful, although the concept is interesting

    2. It’s not apparent what the timeline is for or why the data for it should be stacked.

    3. I would put the names of the buildings on/next to the timeline as well. It is hard to match the names left buildings to the right

    4. Not sure how people aren’t understanding this graphic, I think they’re both really clear and easy to understand.

      It is missing 40 Wall Street in between Woolworth & Chrysler though.

    5. One look and this is indeed nonsense, Shanghai Tower and Guangzhou CTF aren’t there

    6. Why were so many European cathedrals suddenly increasing their height in the late 1800s?

      really cool work! although I think the bar on the right and the connecting lines to the bar on the right are not needed … a simple time axis would suffice!

      This is The great pyramid and Lincoln cathedral erasure simply because they would break the chart isn’t it

      I feel like this is some kind of smear campaign against Lincoln Cathedral, the tallest building in the world for 200 years, breaking the 3,800 year streak of Egypt.

      I think we can all agree overall Africa is still in the lead in terms of cumulative years.

    10. It’s refreshing to see this sub being used for its original purpose instead of spamming political propaganda in the form of graphs.

    11. OMG I’m so sorry you posted this. Now Trump will want to spend $20 billion of taxpayer dollars to build “The World’s Tallest Building” that will be one foot taller than the Burj Khalifa.

      Now *this* is beautiful data, unlike most of the stuff that makes it to the top of this sub!
