• Explain to students that this is a timeline. A timeline is a line
  that represents a certain amount of time. Tell students that this
  timeline represents all the time that has passed from the time of
  King Hammurabi until today—over four thousand years! Explain
  that it is very easy to see on the timeline that King Hammurabi
  lived many, many years ago. Explain to students that this part of
  the timeline represents the time of Warad, Iddin, Amur, and King
  Hammurabi.
  [Invite a volunteer to point to the time of King Hammurabi. Invite
  another student to point to the present-day or “modern” times.]
