How these dates were made

Real dates from Wikidata, checked against the atlas.

These are real dates: Bithynia's founding and dissolution are recorded in Wikidata, and accepted here only because they agree with the centuries the atlas independently drew it in. Wikidata records more than one founding date; the earliest is shown. The atlas itself draws the world at one moment in time, not continuously. The strip below covers those snapshots — 300 BCE to 300 BCE — which sits inside the fuller span above.
