How these dates were made

Real dates from Wikidata, checked against the atlas.

These are real dates: Yamnaya culture'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 — 3000 BCE to 3000 BCE — which sits inside the fuller span above.
