How these dates were made

Real dates from Wikidata, checked against the atlas.

These are real dates: Principality of Polotsk's founding and dissolution are recorded in Wikidata, and accepted here only because they agree with the centuries the atlas independently drew it in. The atlas itself draws the world at one moment in time, not continuously. The strip below covers those snapshots — 1100 CE to 1100 CE — which sits inside the fuller span above.
