Book of Mormon Timeline

Twenty-six centuries of Book of Mormon history — from the Jaredites to the hill Cumorah — laid out as one horizontal scroll of 47 events you move through at your own pace.

Book of Mormon Timeline

The idea

Scripture history is hard to hold in your head — thousands of years, several civilisations, rising and falling out of order. We wanted a way to feel the shape of it: one continuous line where you can watch an era begin, overlap the next, and end.

What we built

A horizontal timeline of 47 events, colour-coded by era, with a glowing centre at the visit of Christ. Each marker opens a card — date, title, summary and scripture reference — placed to stay on screen, and on a phone it slides up as a sheet. It's a single HTML file with no framework behind it.

  • +47 events across seven eras, c. 2200 BC to AD 421
  • +Era chips, arrow-key navigation and smart card placement
  • +Mobile bottom-sheet with touch and swipe
  • +Bilingual EN/PT, remembered between visits

The experience

Scripture stops being a wall of dates and becomes a journey you scroll. Each reference quietly points back to the text, so the timeline works as a study companion as much as a story — fast, reverent, and readable on any device.
