Who lived when? Some surprises here
@infobeautiful do you have a higher-quality image?
@infobeautiful My favourites are Francis of Assisi coexisting with Genghis Khan, and Beethoven coexisting with PT Barnum.

Especially surprising are errors which are there. No, Ivan the Terrible was not a contemporary of Jane Austen.

@infobeautiful No links, too small to read.

I did find a version with good resolution with which you can zoom in at https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1ay3vuu/oc_who_lived_when_the_overlapping_lives_of/?rdt=33088#lightbox although I'm not a fan of rebbit.

Notice the ?... next to Jimmy Hoffa.

1975 was last time seen. Assumed to be death year.

@infobeautiful I like that all the pirates and Al Capone are in the same category as Rockefeller, Ford and Bezos.
@infobeautiful would be nicer if the information could actually be read, especially the tiny grey writing next to arrows
@infobeautiful I like the fact that you could replace the "business and industry" category with "criminals" or just "bastards", and no one would complain.

One takeaway from this:

Leaders gave way to entertainers, except in #Ukraine, where an entertainer became a leader
