Scrub through 4.5 billion years of Earth history. Pin any place on the globe and watch where it drifted across deep time.
Worlds Ago is an interactive map of Earth’s geological past. Drag the timeline from the present back toward the Hadean and the globe redraws each era’s paleogeography — continents assembling and rifting apart through plate tectonics. Pin a modern city and a great-circle arc traces where that ground sat in any earlier period.
