Question for Mr. Zompist

I seem to remember you used to have a section of your website that gave a list of inventions and when they occurred. I think you had menus where you could narrow them down by field, or by location. I can't seem to find it now. Do you still have it?
Thank you for your time,
P

Surely there have been relevant advances in agriculture in the last 1200 years, no ?

Yes, MASSIVE ones. Foundation of modern society. Two big bursts of development: early 18th century (starts out in the low countries and northern germany in the 17th century), the development of four-crop systems, allied with enclosure acts, and the seed drill; early 19th century, large-scale intentional and efficient breeding programmes to specialise animals, steel plows, mechanical reapers, and, later, chemical fertilisers.
The agriculture timeline might also want to include the invention of agriculture.

The last bit was a typo.
I added a number of items (under Agriculture and Tools).

When I noticed that the timeline ended in 2000, I imagined that you still had fifteen more centuries to develop. Then I realized this was set on Earth.
