The Pecuilarities of World History

First and foremost cliographics is the art of making diagrams and figures, as well as employing illustrations and photographs, to accompany and enhance understanding of historiographical text. 

Computer Cliography 

Alongside traditional text-based historiography, however, we are witnessing today quality animated computer graphic reproductions of historical events, which open the door to a new level of historical conceptualization like never before.

CG world historiography makes  vicarious experience and gestalt-like comprehension possible, due to the simultaneous visual integration of multiple historical plots on a single,  visual field, something not possible by text-based historiographical narrative. 

We have entered a new era of interlinked, dynamic conceptualization, as if we have taken the roof off of a house, and are able to see the residents going about their daily affairs in  their different rooms, all at once.  

And while there is always a need for audio narrative in CG productions, this too allows weaving between what is shown and what is not shown, adding yet another conceptual dimension to historical narrative.
