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!

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.

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

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.

It’s not apparent what the timeline is for or why the data for it should be stacked.
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
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.
Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world at release.
What about the Washington monument from 1884 to 1889 and the Eiffel Tower from 1889 to 1930?
