See How Kuala Lumpur Appeared In 200 Million Years Ago Using This Interactive Map

In the past, ‘traveling’ to see the surrounding area using Google Street View was something that was considered valuable. It’s like a hobby to see big cities through the Google app developed in 2007.

But now, you also have the opportunity to traverse time and see for yourself the state of the world in the past through an interactive map developed by dinasourpictures.org.

This map has a variety of features that make it easy for you to learn more about the Earth, from the equator to the explanation of the dinosaurs and flowers that existed in the chosen year.

According to creator Ian Webster, this map will show changes in the environment due to the long history of the earth from what we know, “The face of the planet will continue to change in the future,” he said.

He, who is also the individual responsible for building the world’s largest digital dinosaur database, has teamed up with Ancient History to build the interactive map.

Ancient Earth itself is the result of a Paleo Map Project undertaken by paleographer Christopher Scotese. This map illustrates the development of tectonic plates over 750 million years, shortly after green algae developed for the first time.

In the world of Webster, you will be able to see for yourself what the world was like hundreds of millions of years ago. You also have the opportunity to jump in the years when world history began by selecting some of the options available at the top right of the app.

Kuala Lumpur was open land during the Jurassic era around 170 million years ago. While our neighbor Indonesia at that time has not formed and is still sinking. On the other hand, Tokyo has become a large part of the mainland near the North Pole.

Meanwhile, 750 million years ago, Kuala Lumpur was still submerged and close to parts of the Antarctic region and far from the Equator. In the lower-left, you have the opportunity to read in more detail the situation of the world at that time.

“I’m amazed that geologists were able to collect data showing my house 750 [million] years ago, and I think you should also enjoy it,” Webster wrote.
