The map of human history.
A world map you can rewind.
Satya (सत्य — truth) is an AI historian who takes you back in time — and shows you every side of the story, with sources. It is a 3D globe with a single time thread: drag the year and watch borders move, kingdoms rise and dissolve, and monuments appear in the years they were raised. Draw a rectangle around any place, pick an era, and ask — Satya answers from sourced, confidence-tagged facts about exactly that ground and those years.
What you can do today — chapter one
The current chapter is India, 1526–1947 — Babur's victory at Panipat to the death of Aurangzeb. On the globe today:
- 21 powers — the Mughal Empire, Vijayanagara, the Deccan sultanates, Rajputana, Bengal, Orissa, and more — with real historical boundary snapshots that morph smoothly as you scrub the years. Powers with no reliably mapped border (the early Marathas, the Ahoms, the Sur interregnum) appear honestly as capital points instead of invented shapes.
- 123 rulers and officeholders in succession threads — from Babur and Akbar to Chand Bibi, Malik Ambar, Shivaji, and Tarabai — each reign dated and sourced.
- 47 events where they happened — battles, sieges, treaties, coronations — pinned to their ground and their year.
- 21 landmarks that appear when they were built and never leave: the Qutb Minar, Golconda Fort, the Golden Temple, the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort, Gol Gumbaz, and more.
- The lens: draw a box on the map, set an era on the time thread, and ask. Satya answers only from the sourced facts inside your selection — and tells you how confident anyone can honestly be.
Why you can trust it
No source, no story. Every border, ruler, event, and monument in Satya carries its source, and every claim is tagged with how sure the record allows anyone to be — attested, probable, disputed, or legendary. The AI historian is grounded in that same source-linked data and is not permitted to answer beyond it: when the record is silent, Satya says so instead of guessing.
Borders are drawn honestly too. Frontiers of this era were zones, not lines — Satya uses real scholarly boundary snapshots, morphs between them visually, and labels the result approximate by design. History that shows its work.
Where it's going
Every civilization, one map. India is chapter one — the founder's roots — not the whole product. The engine underneath is civilization-agnostic: the same sourced-assertion substrate can carry Pataliputra and the Mauryas, the San Francisco Bay's last 150 years, and every chapter after them. The destination is one place where people explore the past and machines can cite it: the sourced memory of humanity — a Wikipedia whose index is space and time. All of us, on one globe.
The name
सत्य means truth. Here, truth doesn't mean "here is the answer" — it means refusing to fake certainty. History was never one story, and Satya's job is to show you every side of it, with receipts.
