A NEW ALTHIA APP
History,
placed in time.
Turn the globe. Move through an era.
Read or listen to what happened there.
Ethia tells formative stories that shaped peoples and places—from civic institutions and scientific ideas to translation, independence and cultural continuity.
In development for iPhone and iPad.
A DIFFERENT WAY INTO HISTORY
The map and timeline are part of the story.
Explore where an event happened, move through time, or follow a people and polity through the Atlas. Each chapter separates documented history, interpretation and disclosed reconstruction, with sources and historical context close at hand.
