There are videos on youtube that talk about the age and development of the earth. One stated that the Earth was once an “ice planet” during one period and overrun with fungiform life in another. In a different video, a team used (LED?) lights on a dry lake bed to describe the age of the earth in a straight line. The lights stretched for about a mile. Human history (IIRC) could measured between two out-stretched arms at the end of the same line.
I have heard a similar comparison, where the Empire State Building height represents the Earth’s timeline, and a postage stamp place atop the building represents the entirety of human history...............
