What did your place look like over the past 750 million years?

Yes!
I selected Washington, DC 450 million years ago. Here's what I got: "Silurian Period. A mass extinction took place, wiping out nearly half of marine invertebrate species. The first land plants emerge, starting at the edge of the ocean. Plants evolve vascularity, the ability to transport water and nutrients through their tissues. Ocean life becomes larger and more complex, and some creatures venture out of reefs and onto land."
And lo, they were called politicians.
